If you are looking for the perfect stories for children ages eight to twelve, here is the place to look. Children today need to read books that speak of love, miracles and a joyful look at the world around them. Color, laughter and heart are sorely missing from many of their lives, and so I have decided to give my young readers a picture of the world that is less frightening and reminiscent of the period I grew up in. The frog who takes a prominent position in the books written for younger children is the voice they need to hear so that they may feel free to be who they have a right to be, and that is small humans who understand that it is possible for them to live on the planet of their own minds. This green friend is my voice incognito, and he will take them to where they really belong.The stories written to engage young teens will hopefully lead them on the path to adulthood seeing that love and friendship are truly significant.
