WHY BOOKS ARE OUR FRIENDS
- As a former bilingual, licensed, therapist and educator for over three decades, I counseled, taught, and wrote books for children and their families. Books are our friends because:
- WITH BOOKS WE TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD: In Defiance and Redemption, A Lifetime of Unbroken Bonds you travel to exotic Ecuador, South America. This fictional novel, which readers have designated "a page turner," is based on a coming of age story about the author's mother and her two close friends. Their hilarious adventures and courage helped them overcome the cultural and societal limitations for women at that time.They defined their own lives, and changed the future for the next generation! (Available in Spanish).
- BOOKS MAKES US A BETTER PERSON: We learn about ourselves by reading informative books.
- In Heart Magic, Keeping Love Alive & Well, a small, easy to read, guide book, your learn the skills for finding and maintaining a healthy, loving, and lasting relationship.
- BOOKS HELP US FORGET OUR TROUBLES: In Singing My Self Home, through poetry readers move into the landscape of personal transformation, love, and dreams.
- BOOKS HELP US ESCAPE: Turn the pages of The Return, a Time When Nature Seeks Justice. Is it a dream or does a planetary transformation actually happen?
- BOOKS CHANGE HOW WE SEE LIFE: Diamond Mind, Sacred Mirror is a meditation that will lift your vibration and introduce you to your true identity.
- BOOKS MAKE US SMARTER: Youngen Finds Her Song, invites children into the world of birds, flowers, and insects to a magical journey of the stars.They learn about the generosity of nature, the sacredness of life, and the power of friendship and gratitude.
- BOOKS ARE ALWAYS THERE TO ENTERTAIN: Young pet lovers will laugh out loud when they read how a lizard stops a thief, in Hero, the Brave Lizard or a wise cat heals a family in, Jennifer Magicum, The Vanishing Cat.
- BOOKS TEACH US EMPATHY; In Scrapper's Christmas Story, an angel is the narrator on a street dog's longing for a family and the good dead that leads him to a loving home on Christmas Day!
