BUONA SALUTE!

MY CHILDREN'S BOOK--GUAPO'S GIANT HEART--A MOONBEAM SILVER MEDAL AWARD WINNER

I am so proud that my team has been awarded the Moonbeam Silver Medal for Guapo’s Giant Heart, a picture book that helps children talk about important life lessons of diversity, kindness, and acceptance. We’re also very excited to share that a Guapo sequel is in the works! We hope you will add it to your holiday gift list. Find Guapo's Giant Heart at Mascot Books, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and several independent bookstores. Did you know? A portion of the book proceeds support the amazing folks at Coachella Valley Horse Rescue.

It was a real pleasure talking with psychotherapist, TV commentator, and author of ‘Your Best Age Is Now’, Dr. Robi Ludwig on her wonderful #TalkingLive Facebook podcast. We get into the inspiration behind my writing Guapo’s Giant Heart, a story about real animals learning to live together despite their differences. I hope you’ll listen as Dr. Ludwig shares her thoughtful perspective on why it’s important to give children the space through books to understand and work through their own emotions about feeling left out, or maybe not connecting in a way they would like to. I’m proud to have been a part in creating a learning tool that opens the door to talk with kids about important life lessons of diversity, acceptance, and kindness. Thanks again Dr. Robi for an invigorating, and hopeful conversation! LISTEN HERE.

 

A portion of book sales benefit the kind folks at Coachella Valley Horse Rescue.
