Story Behind The Book
My grandson, Sidney, is the main character. I had written stories for my children when they were little mainly to help me remember some of the cute things they said and did. It was only natural that I wrote about things I did with Sid when he was very young. The twelve stories were written individually as they evolved over a period of five years.
This collection of body-mind-spirit stories highlights unique lessons about love, acceptance, self-worth, caring for the body, diversity, facing fears, dealing with change, the death of a pet, using spiritual gifts, and understanding mystical gifts most children exhibit.
