All across the nation, a lot of organizations and individuals will be spinning pinwheels in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month. The pinwheel is the widely adopted symbol that helps raise awareness about healthy child development. It represents happiness, health and hope. The goal of this month-long awareness (April 1-30) is to stimulate conversation and motivate the public to play a key role in the prevention of child abuse and neglect. The hope is that people will get involved and support the efforts of those working to end child abuse and neglect. Some will also decorate tress with blue ribbons that represent children who have been abused or wear a blue ribbon to show support for the children.

You will be surprised at how this capuchin monkey reacts to a liter of puppies he sees for the first time.
