United Way of McHenry County
The Silhouette Man (189 pages) tells the story of a person who is determined to make a positive difference, his friends and neighbors who join his civic efforts, his experiences growing up that shaped his interest in volunteerism and philanthropy, and the grandparent who mentors him. It is geared to adult readers.
The First Thirty (96 pages) is the condensed version of the story, geared toward 5th to 12th grade reading level (and adults who prefer shorter stories).
A Place To Sit is the optional companion workbook for The First Thirty and/or The Silhouette Man.
The Milkshake Man is the illustrated version of the story, geared toward K-4th grade reading level (and teens and adults who are kids at heart). One Lunch is its optional companion workbook.

Last year, United Way of McHenry County incorporated the books into an internal project. This summer, the organization's friends & supporters have a chance to get their own copies and support United Way of McHenry County at the same time. Milkshakes play a 'sweet' role in the story.
