HOLLYWOOD, Nov 13, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- Screen Actors Guild President Melissa Gilbert has put her considerable talents behind the GraffitiWorkz title The Big IZ, a new interactive CD program that teaches important values to children.
"We had hoped that values for children could catch on, and it certainly has," Ms. Gilbert said. "Sales from The Big IZ fund The Barron Foundation, which donates this new electronic book to schools across the country."
Leading psychologist, Dr. Samoan Barish, calls The Big IZ, "an important book which opens the way for children to turn their attention inward (and exercise their) capacity for sympathy, compassion and empathy. I recommend this book not only for children, but for parents and educators as well."
GraffitiWorkz, www.graffitiworkz.com, announced the debut of an exciting new library portal for K-12 students, teachers and libraries today. Said Adolescent Therapist Constance H. Foster, "It is our goal to make THE COLLECTION by GraffitiWorkz available in English and Spanish with other language translations to be forthcoming in the near future. The GrafffitiWorkz mission is to successfully meld education with entertainment for all children by making available age/grade-appropriate fully annotated titles in popular digital formats. The advent of The Collection moves digital books into an entirely new realm."
