Staying the Course
A story about trauma, healing and finding a voice in the middle of silence
About DeShala Walker
Hello everyone! I’m DeShala Walker, a School Social Worker. Over the years, I’ve listened to many students share their experiences with scary events, particularly those involving unwanted touches. These conversations inspired me to write a children's book titled, 'Staying The Course: A story about trauma, healing, and finding a voice in the middle of the silence.'
Written from personal experience and professional expertise, this book not only shares my story but also serves as a guide for children on how to cope with and talk about traumatic experiences. It reassures them that their feelings are valid and provides actionable advice on seeking help. If you’re a parent, educator, or someone who cares about supporting children through their tough times, this book could be a valuable resource. This book helps equip them with understanding and help them find their voice in challenging times. Most importantly, it encourages them to always report their experiences to a trusted adult at home or school.

Staying The Course
Hey there, super kids! Today, let’s talk about a very special person named DeShala.
She’s like a superhero in her own way, and she’s on an amazing mission! DeShala is a super cool social worker at an elementary school, just like yours, but she works in a place called Wisconsin – that’s also known as the cheese state! Imagine going to school where there’s so much cheese!
What makes DeShala extra special is her big dream. She wants to help everyone, kids and grown-ups, to be the best they can be. She believes that everyone has a super purpose in life, a kind of secret superpower, and she’s there to help you find it! But wait, there’s more!
DeShala has a dream of traveling all around the world to share her story and inspire people everywhere. Imagine all the amazing places she’ll see and the different people she’ll meet! When DeShala isn’t busy being awesome at her job, she loves doing fun things. She enjoys cooking yummy foods (maybe even cheesy recipes!), hanging out with her family, and spending time with God. It’s her way of recharging her superpowers!
So, boys and girls, remember this: like DeShala, you too can chase your dreams, help others, and do what you love. Whether it’s cooking, playing, or learning, you’re on your way to discovering your own super purpose in life. Always believe in yourself, because you are awesome!

Deshala is an amazing author. Her book allows children to analyze and differentiate safe and unsafe touches. I like how it has practical strategies for kids to find support from trusted adults in their lives. I definitely recommend this book for those difficult conversations with children and to bring awareness about putting ones own feelings of safety first.

Staying the Course by Deshala Walker is an exceptional children's book that approaches the sensitive topic of unwanted touch with compassion and empowerment. Its engaging storyline, sensitive approach, and empowering message make it an essential addition to any library. I highly recommend Staying the Course, it's a great read for all ages, particularly school-aged children.
