Think & Play the Social Scouts Way: Firefighter Leo to the Rescue!

Heather Marenda-Miller and Amy Wilhelm are licensed and certified pediatric speech-language

pathologists with a successful private practice in Los Angeles, California. Heather and Amy are

co-founders of the Social Scouts™ therapeutic program, which they developed in 2010 to help

children struggling with making and sustaining friendships. They share a passion for working

with children and providing a fun, friendly and nurturing environment for them to think, learn,

play and grow.

After searching high and low to no avail for children’s books that teach imagination and

pretend play skills, they decided to create their own series of interactive books to do just that.

With bonus cut-out sequence pictures included for practice after reading the story, children can

easily follow along and have their very own firefighting adventure, just like Leo! The authors hope

this book will be fun for young children and parents/teachers alike, encouraging everyone to unplug,

pretend and play!
