Children Deserve to be Inspired.

My goal as a children’s author is to write fun and engaging stories that teach our children valuable life lessons. I think what makes a story stand out, and stay with us, is whether or not it inspires us. Did the story make you want to be brave, or kind, or adventurous? Did it open up your mind to new ideas, new thoughts, new dreams? Were the characters heroic? Did they overcome great odds and achieve great things? To write and share such stories is a privilege and a joy.

On this site it is my goal to not only share my work as an author, but also to celebrate other authors and the books they’ve written to inspire our children. Be sure to check out the link to Reviewed Books.

I encourage you to share with me the stories that inspired you as a child. Please keep in mind the criteria of being an inspiring and appropriate read for children.Please feel free as well to add your own comments about the stories I have listed.

Be sure to visit Larkspur Academy! A new page created to take readers on new adventures with Princess Claire of Larkspur, along with her friends at Larkspur Academy.

Thank you for joining me on this journey to inspire our children to be inspiring themselves!

“I could really use Mason’s help, Taylor. He’s a natural; it’s as if he was born to be a Light Keeper.”

“Born to be a Light Keeper? Do you hear what you’re saying? We aren’t even from here, Redmond. How could Mason have been born to defend a land that he didn’t even know existed until two years ago?”

“Just because you don’t know something exists, does not keep it from existing. There is a Great Plan that we cannot possible understand, but we are given glimpses and opportunities to be a part of it. It’s up to us what we do with those opportunities. Some back away in fear, others use logic to talk themselves out of getting involved. But there are a chosen few who take giant leaps of faith, and in so doing create a life of great worth with no regrets and no misgivings.”

A hush fell over the room as each of them pondered Redmond’s words. Taylor reached out and grabbed Mason’s hand. She looked into his eyes and saw such courage and faith. Redmond was right. They had been given this incredible opportunity to be a part of something big. She did not want to back away in fear. She wanted to leap.
