Dr. Dolores Burton is an award-winning author of seven books. She is published in many educational journals and has presented her research on teaching and learning at numerous venues across the globe. As a Fulbright Senior Scholar, she worked nationally and internationally to improve the skills of educators. Her writing reflects her passion to help children succeed in school and in life. Her trilogy of picture books: But You Don't Look Like Me!; Bully Billy Is Back! The Burrowing Owls Are Worried; and Big Bad Barry: Does He Really Want to Be a Bully? Owl characters are used to demonstrate kindness, empathy, and acceptance of individual differences. The picture books also contain research-based anti-bullying strategies modelled by the owl characters. Her middle-grade chapter book, A Story of Courage: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, describes how a young girl, with hard work and the courage to dream the impossible, can achieve it. All books are available on Amazon.com and at BreaklightPublications.com. See less
