His program is titled "Heroes and Villains: Comic Books
as Bibliotherapy." He's presented this before at conferences, and the gist
of it is that Cory takes the attributes that certain comic book characters
have and uses that as a jumping off point with kids to discuss what choices
they can make when confronted with certain situations - usually involving
anger.
Has he ever tossed around the notion of writing some CB's with these themes?
I'venoticed there is a need for these types of CBs, the ones that are
currently out there (like McGruff and stupid DARE ones) are so patronizing and dumbed
down with very boring characters that basically give a speech in CB form.

LOL! That's an excellent idea :) I'll have to ask him if writing a
children's book has ever crossed his mind. He is a writer - has a finished
novel and two partially completed ones just waiting for him to finish and to
find a publisher.

I agree that there are way too many books out there for children that are
just too dumbed down and patronizing. I'm sure there are some good ones out
there, but my mind is a little fuzzy right now since Cory left me with a
sick boy to go to an out of town meeting. Hmm, now if I were Storm from
X-Men I could use my powers to create a huge blizzard to keep him at home.
But I should probably learn to use my powers for unselfish reasons...
