"The K-OH!” offers a standing invitation to the Child. The Child will be included on a journey to this imaginary place that is made real due to a myth. The myth is that using the word "okay" frequently to describe thoughts and feelings is exceedingly appropriate. This is a opportunity for teaching through entertainment on numerous levels. The message is to explore words that accurately portray inner emotions to the outer environment. The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations pair perfectly with their presentation. The Child will be visually stimulated by the vectors chosen to demonstrate this imaginary place that is actually quite real in daily vocabulary.
