KODA Two Hearts is a fictional character from the Pony Gulch Universe. In his world, he's a college student who discovers his superpowers as a teacher and protector of the communities. He travels throughout North America learning about the many diverse Indigenous Tribal Nations. While he has the physical powers to fly with the eagles, run along side a bison herd, jump across valleys, and lift a school bus back on the roadway, his true power is Education and Learning. His greatest superpower is "learning and teaching" and this pays off as he is beginning his teaching career back on his home reservation community.
The KODA the Warrior Series
The KODA Series was inspired by the author's time as a Third Grade Teacher on the Coeur D' Alene Reservation of Idaho. The students' energy and passion for learning created an environment for growth and looking toward new ideas and creative storylines. Books #1 to #4 describe the journey of discovery for a young college student to grow into a superhero with the super-empowers to teach and help others
Lessons developed by professional educators for students to incorporate the Adventures & Teachings of KODA’s Journey through books #1-#4. Each
manual will showcase the stories, artwork, lesson plans and innovative ways for extended and connected learning in any environment. Great for schools, home-schools and family activities.
