Books for children…with a message for all!
I write for children because they are the most important audience to write for. As adults, it is our responsibility to teach and guide the future generations whenever we get the opportunity. And I feel blessed that I’ve been given this opportunity through the art of storytelling. And although the age recommendation for the book may say “between 4 to 8”, I believe it could easily say “between 4 to 88”! My goal is to write stories that both children and adults can connect to with the hopes of initiating conversations between the two. And if those conversations can result in a child being enlightened or finding peace in some way, then I’ll know that I have put something worthwhile into the world.
