"Where Is My Tooth?"

About the Book

This story was inspired by my youngest son's experience in losing his first tooth. It talks about some of the changes our bodies go through from a child's point of view. What we, as adults see as normal growth, children see as a big deal and some even see it as a crisis at the time. One of our main responsibilities as parents is to try and help mold our children's prospective on life. Jon Jon is now 15 years old and I am proud to say that how we, as parents handled his growing experience, contributed to his self-esteem in a very positive manner.

About the Author

My name is Iris Santiago I was born in New York City. My goal is to write about my experience working with children and raising my own. I believe that children go through a lot of issues when they start school for the first time and during their school year.

That is why I believe that we need to listen to what they have to say, we need to help them resolve their issues in a positive manner and you will be surprised how fast they learn and move on. I wrote this book at a childs level so that they can understand that they are going to go through changes, that it happens to all of us and that it doesn't have to be a bad experience. We have to let them know that it is going to be all right.
