Adam owns and operates a mental health private practice for children and adults in Marblehead, Massachusetts, the same town where he currently resides. Adam's first book, “Anxious Andy,” (Lulu Press, 2018) was developed as an introductory for parents and teachers to discuss the emotion of anxiety with children in early childhood, helping with early intervention of anxiety disorders. “Macie’s Mirror” (Clavis, 2019), a story about a little girl breaking free of her own fixation of popularity and self-image, was inspired by Adam’s first-born daughter, Charlotte.Emmanuel Volant is a French illustrator and writer.

Even at bedtime. Even at school. The other children tease him, but Corey doesn't mind. After all, he wears his cape for a reason . . . Billy would rip the cape off every day. And every day, Corey would show up with a new cape. Then, one of the boys found the very noble reason why Corey was wearing a cape.An inspiring book about courage, caring, and the hero inside everyone. For superheroes ages 5 and up.From School Library JournalK-Gr 2-Corey wears an orange cape to school and every day, a bully named Billy takes it away. Corey is undaunted and alone until a curious boy asks why he continues to wear the cape. Corey reveals that he does it for his sick mother whose favorite color is orange. Soon, all the students begin to wear different colors and patterns of capes and Billy is left out, until Corey extends an act of kindness. Anthropomorphized characters mirror the characters' traits. Corey has the body of a human and the head of a rabbit, while Billy has the head of a bulldog; other students are a frog, mouse, raccoon. The book reads like a cautionary tale instructive for both the bullied and the bully: "I'll tell you this story, because it may help you one day." Translated from Dutch, text is straightforward with the word "cape" always capitalized. The illustrations are realistically drawn and straightforward as well. Hues of blue and orange dominate, with text primarily on verso and illustrations on recto, except for a double-page spread featuring students in the playground with a variety of capes that weave together, quilt-like to show a sense of unity. The close-up image of Billy's face apologizing to Corey effectively conveys his contrition and leads to their eventual friendship. VERDICT A simply told story about stepping forward to support the bullied and change the dynamic, this is an accessible if slight story about courage and bullying in a school setting.-Ramarie Beaver, formerly at Plano P.L., TXα(c) Copyright 2011.

Corey puts on a new orange cape each day.
