In her memoir A CIRCLE OF QUIET, Madeleine L’Engle writes, “Those of us who write are responsible for the effect of our books… Like it or not, we either add to the darkness… or we light a candle to see by.” As a writer for children, I take those words to heart and now, today, with the release of my newest picture book, LOVE IS KIND, I hope Little Owl’s story will do just that. Certainly showing love towards others is something that our fractured society needs, especially, right now, so my book birthday wish is that LOVE IS KIND will resonate in little hearts everywhere and inspire children of all ages (and grown ups too!) to show love and kindness towards others in ways big and small.
Happy birthday, LOVE IS KIND! And Happy Reading, all!

Happy Book Birthday, Laura! Have an awesome day celebrating!! Proud of you!
Thank you, Tina! I’ve busy all morning at VBS and what a wonderful treat it has been to come home to all the well-wished. =)
Some literary strains (especially moderns ones) have a different take on the artist/writer’s place, but I have always felt that in all I do I chose between light and dark. You have definitely made that choice and your books are for the betterment of our living spaces.
We are kindred thinkers, Mirka. =)
