Eva & Willie is a tool for teaching social-emotional development such as empathy, confidence, self-esteem (loving yourself), and gratitude. Eva & Willie are best friends that meet at "the bench" in the park every weekend to take a walk and talk about what's happening in their lives. During their walk, they come upon "Grasshopper," "Swan," "The twin cats," "Butterfly," "Pony," and "Fish." Willie (the parrot) teaches Eva (the dog) how to use good manners (speaking to others when passing them, saying "thank you" when someone does kind gestures and "excuse me" when you accidently bump into someone or walk directly in front or behind them). "If you can inspire a child and they grow up to become someone people admire, you have done your work! Don't stop inspiring children." - Mr. Eric M. Rogers
