Marie Unanue is a Kindness Advocate, helping children and their families incorporate more kindness into their lives through her #LetsAllBeKind Challenge. Kids are encouraged to print out a sign and take a picture with them at the kindness scene to spread this positive message, and then share it on social media with @MarieUnanueAuthor using the #LetsAllBeKind to use social media in a positive way. “The Adventures of Phatty and Payaso: Central Park,” (iUniverse, August 24, 2018) is an Early Chapter Book by Marie Unanue. Marie’s fascination with Characterlab.org helped her to write a story that would help teach the character skills missing in today’s children. The book focuses on six skills: curiosity, gratitude, grit, self- control, social intelligence, and zest.
Marie Unanue is a writer and now has turned this talent to writing children's literature. Her focus is on bullying, using a menagerie of pets and animals to demonstrate the character traits of kindness, gratitude, cooperation, empathy, self-control. The book: The Adventures of Phatty & Payaso is a chapter book, great for summer reading, great for parents reading with kids. It's also fun that there is a Seattle connection--Payaso, the worldly cat, is from Seattle! And Marie also has a special project related to the book, related to life! Be sure to check out 'Let's All Be Kind'. It reminds me of a favorite quote: Life is already so tough. How can we be anything but kind. www.letsallbekind.com
