The 2nd Edition S.O.T. Storybooks were designed for venues such as libraries where writing in book; as in the regular storybooks (which include various activities that require writing or cutting), must not be encouraged. Therefore only the story and the secret coded message have been included in the 2nd edition versions. You can copy the secret coded worksheet to decode the message if the 2nd edition storybook doesn't belong to you. This story is about a single father raising a young teenaged daughter who is full of doubt about herself, her abilities and her future. Through a father's persistent encouragement and unyielding love for her, she eventually gains trust in herself and finds hope for a brighter future. This story can be enjoyed by children ages seven and up.
