About the Book

This is the second edition of Dave’s most popular book, All the Kids on My Block. Dave has added pictures at the beginning of each chapter and a study guide at the end.

Content and Inspiration

All the Kids on My Block is a recounting of the many experiences that Dave has had with kids during his thirty five years, working as a Counselor for Lutheran Social Services in SD, Montana, and Iowa, and as a school social worker and a private practice therapist in Northwest Iowa. The joy, hope and love that kids shared with the adults in their lives are poignant and heart-warming.

Author’s Reflection

Dave feels that throughout the years he has learned far more from his kids than what he has given to them.

Invitation to Readers

We hope that you can laugh, cry, and be moved, as you follow this journey with all of Dave’s kids.
