Virginia Echols Harrison loves children, and sincerely wishes the best for them in every aspect of their lives, which is why she has designed this collection of books. She believes that "The Way To Be" collection is among her greatest publishing endeavors, because it points children to a positive, self-defining, conscious raising, drug free lifestyle. Obtaining and maintaining such a lifestyle is half of the battle, especially for inner-city children. This collection was created out of genuine love for young people. The crossword puzzle, at the end of each book and the accompanying "rap" CD completes the sequence, with positive reinforcement of the messages outlined in each book.
