The Picture Book
An Unforgettable World
A child’s imagination is only limited by what it can dream. This story helps children look and think about our world that is full of wonders. From animals to landscapes to stargazing, there are so many things we have experienced and have yet to experience. As you read it with your children, you may start reaching for a backpack and walking stick yourself. Not only does it help children see new possibilities, but it also encourages readers to live in the moment.
THE WHY
Me in a Nutshell
I’m a straightforward human that trusts implicitly and enjoys brainy repartee. I’m happy to chat about the weather, but if you want to go deep, that’s where I like to be.
- lovely to be around – 90% 90%
