GLENN COOK’S life as a counselor has been spent studying human behavior from the perspective that every one’s life is a “work in progress”. He has discovered that people relax and open their hearts when asked to share their hopes and dreams with him. As they did he has helped them to see they were writing their life story on their hearts. Their life stories are dreams and hopes rooted in deep emotions. Emotional pain is the result of something interfering with the story. Understanding this Dr. Cook developed a unique approach to treating dysfunctional behavior. The client was challenged to lower their defenses and look at what part of their story had been disrupted; and with an open mind and heart they would be able to commit to a process that would bring about resolution.
With a natural talent to think in story fashion and using it in counseling, it was a natural seque to create stories to tell his grandchildren. Whenever he visited them the first thing they wanted was for Grandpa to tell them a story. Often it was to repeat a story he had told them before. One reason they would seem to enjoy the stories was that they became characters in each story—in fact, they became the leading characters. It was easy to create a story about something that they had seen or recently experienced. As his grandchildren grew older, they talked about the stories and often asked him to put them in a book for their children to read. Instead he decided to write a story that they and their children could read together. This book is that story.
