Reviews:   “As educators, teachers strive to create a classroom environment that is not only safe but also comfortable and caring. This is a goal especially in the elementary grades because we realize that this type of environment in the primary years is important to setting the stage for a positive learning experience in the educational journey of our youth. This environment usually stems from and mimics our family life at home. Educator and author Linda Taylor has once again created an encouraging positive story in the Daring David series. I enjoyed reading the book in the series entitled, Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., which talked about celebrating family as a loving unit. It reminds us how special a family’s respect for each other is because it leads to a happy, loving environment in which everyone feels important and included. Once again, Linda Taylor’s Daring David series, as in the Amazing Annabelle series, presents strong, encouraging, caring characters who are positive role models. Congratulations again, Linda Taylor, and continued success!” —Pamela Doughty, Elementary Educator
