Little things, big moments...

I have always had a passion for working with children and believe that little things like reading a book can prevent big moments like dealing with negative feelings.  In 2020 NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Lake Norman/Iredell offered a free 12-week class at Fifth Street Ministries to help understand and provide support to people dealing with mental illness. The course was powerful yet interesting to learn that adults are not alone.  Children experience mental health issues too.  The course gave me the insight to write a book for young children to prevent negative feelings from escalating into big moments. My local library does not have any picture books for young children going to see a therapist.  Maybe my book will be the first.
