Brave Changes

Books for Children filled with Wisdom

As we enter our next phase of uncertainty and social isolation due to the Coronavirus, it is a good time to remember our blessings as well as our challenges. It seems appropriate for me to express my gratitude for a long and rewarding career – nearly forty years, of teaching the skills of social and emotional intelligence. The best way for me to express my gratitude is by acknowledging the many gifts of wisdom I have received along the way and to honor my first and most important teachers on this subject – my children and grandchildren.

To acknowledge these gifts I am producing a series of children’s books on the lessons I have learned from these illumined beings. The first in the series is called Brave Changes and is dedicated to my daughter Nico who has always shone with a brilliant heart. This book reveals how the gift of empathy can help you overcome the fear of change. A timely message straight from the heart of my daughter.

Children and adults alike will delight in this wise and wonderfully stirring story of little Crystal the snowflake learning to grow her courage. This story deftly illustrates the use of social and emotional intelligence, particularly how being afraid and anxious  about change can be transformed through the beautiful power of empathy.
