Love Me Gently is fitting for kids grades preschool through second grade. It’s distributed by Tails that Teach, an organization founded by the author. It donates copies of this book and other animal books to schools, literacy programs, and animal organizations (I picked up my copy from my local animal shelter.). Tails that Teach works to encourage children to have compassion for animals as well as grow in confidence in reading.

She is with the Author of Life now, so cancer didn’t win the battle, but let’s pause to remember her as a thought-provoking storyteller and a serious, die-hard follower of Jesus.
Happy Early Mother’s Day – Plus A Book Honoring Moms
I want to wish all you moms a Happy Mother’s Day!
There’s also a book for kids that celebrates an attentive and resourceful mom. It’s actually the sequel to Rose Wolves, a graphic novel I reviewed on Jennifer Hallmark’s blog.
In Rose Wolves Book Two: Out of the Blue, it shows the main character going on a picnic with her mom. She introduces her mom to her old friend: a Rose Wolf, or a wolf that lives part of its life as a rose in a bush.
