Testimonial

"Teachers have been telling me how engaged the students were during the whole performance. Students have told me that he was inspiring and fun. I could hear the pirates "aarrggghhs" down the hallway :-) "

-Melissa Clark, Kisthardt Elementary, Township, NJ

Description

David always wanted to be a part of the normal playground games, but was only included when the other kids recognized that his prosthetic hook made him perfect for the part of Captain Hook in Peter Pan. Always wanting more, David demonstrates that by not judging a book by its cover, everybody grows. This moving and humorous look at growing up without a right hand serves as an excellent vehicle for character development curriculum and teaches how David demonstrated perseverance and overcame the struggles of identity.
