In The Knock, it would be the page where Oma came to visit us. She was much loved, and her fond memories are embraced in my writing. My favorite part of I Don’t Want to Move! is when Charlotte shows empathy for the new girl and becomes the school ambassador in the process. When children find “magic” while they read, they become resilient, adaptable, and empathetic towards others.
Right now I am enjoying Brene Brown. She believes in relevant conversations similar to mine. As she says in her book, “When we own our own stories we get to write the ending.” Having the courage to reflect on the past enables the reader to get back up and grow. That’s my desire for children and their future.
