Tierra Weary Capstone

Sometimes in life we stray away from what is real, taking the focus off the more complex issues creating a false world to live in. Welcome to Tierra Weary´s Senior Project. I chose to do a children´s book because not enough awareness is spread to them about certain topics. My book targets children 8 years of age and older. I wrote my book on abuse and chose to write a book of such nature for children, allowing them to see the harsh realizations of society. Abuse came upon as a hard subject to take on because its a children´s book. I ran into various complications while making this story. The most challenging part for me was coming up with a story line that wasn´t to explicit for their ears, but enough to stimulate there minds. All in all, my senior project was very fun and interesting. It allowed me to express my creative side. I really enjoyed working with the tools I used and referencing back to old classes and assignments. For my Capstone, I composed essential questions for myself: How do you convey difficult messages to young children (8+)? What could be the impact on a child's life taken what the book displayed? How do you understand a child's mind? From the author: I hope my story helps young kids in the future.
