TIBITZ: A Land of No Lies
TIBITZ: A Land of No Lies is a wonderful children's book just published by Nick and Jim Colachis, who have been supporters of the Psychological Trauma Center for the last 8 years. This very special book is about an imaginary land that once existed before people learned how to lie. It has 36 full color pages that are easy to read, just like any of your Dr. Seuss favorites. Every page rhymes with the next and delivers a message that will last a lifetime. The land of TIBITZ had only one law: Never to lie. TIBITZ can be ordered by using the order form for only $12.95, with a portion of each sale going to the Psychological Trauma Center. (Thank you, Nick and Jim for a wonderful book! Many thanks for sharing your success by donating a portion of the book's proceeds to the Psychological Trauma Center.)
