Recently I had the pleasure of meeting two inspiring women, Jill Johnson & Barbara Beccari, who have written a fabulous book for children, parents, and teachers called “Salurri and The Way Train”. It is an elegant and powerful message that brings to life seven key values for healthy relationships.

It introduces us to Salurri, a little girl whose name is an acronym of the first letters of Support, Appreciate, Listen, Understand, Respect, Responsibility, & Independence.  The story unfolds with her experiences at a Train Station, taking us through very practical examples of how we can be more conscious or each of the Seven Ways to “stay on track”.  

We can all be more mindful of these values to enable more satisfying relationships – not just with our children, also with each other – personally and professionally. Jill and Barbara are passionate about their work, and have launched an innovative parent-coaching business, www.parentscope.com.au 

The book also comes with a bonus CD, a song to go with the story - a great way to learn and reinforce an essential message. It is thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated. I’d recommend it for any bookshelf.

Read it aloud at your next team meeting! You can purchase copies here
