Julie Federico is a local award winning children’s author whom has authored books on child abuse prevention, anger control and now school violence prevention.

These books teach children how to recognize intruders that may enter the school and how to report children in their own school who may be planning violence.

The Bad Guys: A Students/Teachers Guide to School Safety and Violence Prevention is a much-needed guide to promote school safety and violence prevention. This book directs students on recognizing potential danger and preparation if such and event occurs. The book offers students a pro-active approach to violence prevention. As a supplement, staff members are supported by a teacher’s guide for educators, and bonus student journal section. Parents and educators will appreciate the simple, non-threating language that creates a school safety message that every child must hear. Violence at school has never been addressed in this straight forward, preventative manner. This book has the potential to save many lives and put a significant dent in school violence.

As Federico begins to uncork the mystery of school violence with the release of The Bad Guys and Students Can Help Keep Schools Safe her work could not be more timely or needed. Federico has a phenomenal understanding of school violence; she worked for Jefferson County Public Schools in 1999 and was a first responder at the Columbine shootings. School violence is something she understands on a personal and professional level. Her unique experience made her the perfect candidate to bring healing to the Newtown, CT. community. Both of her school violence prevention books are dedicated to the Sandy Hook school community in Newtown, CT. These books instruct students what to do if they encounter an intruder in the school or know of a student that is threatening violence. These books have the potential to save many lives.

Federico is a master at taking on difficult social topics, breaking them down into a language that children can understand, explaining the problem and offering solutions to solve the problem. Her writing is unconventional, refreshing and so needed in the world we live in today.
