  • Note to Parents

    Dear Moms and Dads,

    I am the proud father of a 24 year old girl and a 20 year old boy. As they were
    growing up I noticed the lack of programming that promoted the idea of teamwork, trust, compassion and a basic healthy lifestyle. Band of Innocence started off as a story but has turned into a movement for kids. A way of life that lets all children be part of the same team. Protecting each other and understanding each other globally.

    Respecting themselves, their teammates and this world. Here is what one professional has said:

    "During a recent speech I was giving to a parents group and their teens, I held up an issue of People Magazine depicting the suicide of a beautiful young girl. What would cause such an innocent child to suffer such depression that she would take her own life? Bullying from her schoolmates. I detailed in my speech that while our culture adeptly teaches the 3 R’s, what is omitted from every school curriculum is a crucial fourth one, namely Respect. As an educator, I wonder how kids can be taught respect for one another when they don’t even know the basics of respecting themselves? Clearly, something is missing, and it has been missing for a very long time."

    "Teaching self-worth and the optimizing of interpersonal relationships is the professional work I do. I need all the help I can get. Robert Agnello’s MOVEMENT, “Band of Innocence,” supports my work. He returns us to the basics of purity and innocence, where the world can be a more loving place. Unabashedly acknowledging that our adults have fallen into darkness, Agnello pursues the children of our society whose minds are still open and fresh to goodness. He offers a comic book, one of a series, that ponders questions such as, “Why do people have to hurt things that don’t hurt them?” The issues raised are probing, and can be used as guides in both classrooms and homes. It is bibliotherapy at its best!" 

    "Agnello’s goal is for children to discover who they are and what they can become—without the influences of traits such as greed that their parents have adopted. How can kids go about this difficult task? Their credo is “powerful alone, unstoppable together.” Through his materials, children learn the very valuable lessons of teamwork, and apply them to the mandates of the earth, their food supply, and, of course, one another. The greater good will prevail as the children chant, “The sword of truth shall not be silent.” 

    "Amid this scenario, I would never have to give another speech about childhood bullying, suicide, or evil. What a delicious goal that could be! I wholeheartedly stand behind this work, and “The Band of Innocence” movement about to explode. In fact, I’m wearing my white band on my wrist right now!"
