The Nonnie Series takes a "sage" approach to teaching deeper concepts by using universal language that transcends the boundaries most public sectors have heretofore been uncomfortable with. The Nonnie Series: "Sage on the Page" focuses on positive change and supports a character-centered base for academic and affective excellence. The guide helps children become better listeners, increase vocabulary, learn positive ways to interact with others, and develop language skills to express thoughts and feelings. The Nonnie Series has been designed with the reality of our present world in mind. Children can be just as confused and upset about tragic events as adults. But lack skills needed in order to get to a peaceful inner consciousness.
