Beads on One String

What began simply as a song and book about our “connectedness” in the world has grown into a popular positive behavior and bullying prevention program for elementary schools. Picture a beaded necklace, where every bead is a different size, shape, and color, but all held together by one string. This is what Dennis Warner envisioned while creating a song that evolved into the beautiful book now utilized throughout the USA and other countries, showing kids and adults that we are all connected, like beads on one string.
