Andre JC Stokes - MSW
“I want to live in a world where everybody is kind and fair…”
Life is tough. 6-year-old Jay knows that all too well. Between home and school, some troubles seem too big to tackle. But luckily there’s a special friend who can help. Jay introduces us to his pal Counselor Dre—who he talks to about life’s ups and downs—and how he feels.
Sometimes Counselor Dre just listens. Other times they play fun games. And every time, Jay walks away feeling glad he has someone who understands.
