Our Story
We are two women on two different continents.
We have merged humorous, socially responsible stories and beautiful art.
We have created a unique interactive book series about the lively fourth grader, LUKE.
We learn from him and we love him. We know you will, too.
Luke's Story
Hanne Laursen has a master’s degree in counseling psychology, supplemented by hundreds of workshops and certificates in child development. She is passionate about giving children the tools to become self-reliant, socially successful, responsible, contributing members of society.
Throughout her 30-year career as a school counselor and child advocate, her preferred tool working with children has always been the picture book.
She developed the widely popular and successful STOP – THINK – CHOOSE tool and has now authored a picture book series bringing the concept to life.
Hanne Laursen credits her students, her own two adult children and her husband’s wisdom in perfecting STOP – THINK – CHOOSE.
Hanne Laursen was born in Denmark, and she now makes Elkins Park, PA, USA her home.
