Walter, EdD Category: Children's Fiction (Ages 5-12), 38 pages Genre: Children's Picture Book Publisher: Mascot Release date: Aug, 2021 Format available for review: print - hardback (USA), pdf Tour dates: Aug 23 to Sep 10, 2021 Content Rating: G. Book Description: This is not just another book about a dog! Meet Punk, an eight-year-old petite English Bulldog. Her life appears great right now, but it wasn't always that way. Join Punk as she recounts her story of neglect, her rescue and recovery, and her journey of learning to trust and heal again. Punk's Plight is meant to help educators, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and allies of children teach children about the difficult topic of neglect. Punk teaches that neglect may change you forever, but it does not have to stop you from living your best life.  Meet the Author: Hope A. Walter, Ed. D grew up in East Greenville, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Upper Perkiomen High School, Hope received her B.S. in Elementary Education at Kutztown University in 1996, her M.S. in Educational Psychology in 2002 from the University of Las Vegas in Nevada, and her Ed.D in Educational Leadership in 2018. Currently, Hope resides in McMinnville, Oregon with her husband of 25 years, her 3 boys, and her 2 dogs and 2 cats. She works as an adjunct professor at Linfield University and Oregon State University teaching mathematics education and educational psychology to future teachers. Punk’s Plight was conceptualized after teaching future teachers about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Hope saw the connection between ACES and the journey of her own bulldog, Pumpkin, who was neglected, rescued, and spent the rest of her life learning how to trust and love again. Sadly, Pumpkin passed away peacefully in November 2020 after a long life with the Walter family. Hope wants Punk’s story to help children suffering from neglect by showing children they can recover, heal, and prosper despite experiencing neglect. connect with the author: website ~ facebook ~ instragram Tour Schedule: Aug 23 - Splashes of Joy - book review / author interview / giveaway Aug 23 - Cover Lover Book Review - book review / guest post / giveaway Aug 23 - Rockin' Book Reviews - book review / guest post / giveaway Aug 24 - A Mama's Corner of the World - book review / giveaway Aug 25 - Lisa Everyday Reads - book spotlight / author interview Aug 26 - Pause for Tales - book review / giveaway Aug 27 - Kam’s Place - book review Aug 30 - Literary Flits - book spotlight / giveaway Aug 31 - The Momma Spot - book review / giveaway Aug 31 - Cheryl's Book Nook - book review / giveaway Sep 1 - icefairy's Treasure Chest - book review / giveaway Sep 1 - Pick a Good Book - book review / author interview / giveaway Sep 2 - I'd Rather Be At The Beach - book review / giveaway Sep 2 - Bound 4 Escape - book review / giveaway Sep 3 - Gina Rae Mitchell - book review / author interview / giveaway Sep 6 - Westveil Publishing - book review / giveaway Sep 6 - Sefina Hawke's Books - book review Sep 7 - Locks, Hooks and Books - book review / giveaway Sep 7 - Lisa's Reading - book review / giveaway Sep 8 - The Adventures of a Traveler's Wife - book review / giveaway Sep 8 - The Phantom Paragrapher - book review / giveaway Sep 9 - Jazzy Book Reviews - book review / guest post / giveaway Sep 9 - She Just Loves Books - book review / giveaway Sep 10 - The Bespectacled Mother - book review / guest post / giveaway Enter the Giveaway:

Book Description:
Hannah's Korean name literally means "Gold Dress," so why doesn't she want to be seen wearing her gold hanbok dress? 10-year-old Hannah is facing a big performance for her school's talent show. The trouble is, she's ashamed of her dress, the dance, even the music - they're too different, too Korean! What if everyone makes fun of her? Will Hannah be brave enough to perform, or will she run off stage like she did at rehearsal? First, she must learn about the gold dress she's wearing and its mysterious connection to her name and her family's past in Korea: starting with a desperate escape from war and a secret wish hidden for decades in an envelope. Can Hannah make that wish finally come true? In this touching children's story that spans four generations, a Korean American girl overcomes her embarrassment of her heritage to step forward with pride and share her culture with others. 
Meet the Author:
Christine still remembers the butterflies in the pit of her stomach as she performed traditional Korean fan dances as a 12-year-old growing up in Southern California. She never dreamed that over 30 years later, she would be channeling her inner fan dancer to write Hannah’s story. Christine is a second generation Korean American wife and mother of two, living in San Diego. Christine loves telling stories for a living, which started with a 15-year career in TV news and continues today in public relations. She is the winner of six news Emmys and multiple PR awards. Christine was always an avid reader, but wished there were more Asian American book characters she could relate to (besides Claudia Kishi from The Babysitter’s Club). So she decided to create her own! Christine also enjoys singing karaoke, photography, and baking.
