Great News! My fourth picture book is here! Cory and the Seventh Story officially launched just before Christmas 2018, but I was so busy with everything I didn't get a chance to blog about it. Now, I have had time to make a little trailer about the book and give you some details. Click on the video above to check it out.
This is a wonderful story written by Brian McLaren and Gareth Higgins, about a little raccoon named Cory who learns how the stories we tell about the world shape how we live. As Cory's neighbors live out their stories, readers will discover six familiar ones that have repeated through history, teaching us how to dominate, fear, or withdraw from the world and the beautiful people in it.
The good news is that there is another story, a path of openheartedness toward others. Cory's discovery of the Seventh Story will inspired children and adults alike.
Written in the spirit of classics like Douglas Wood's The Old Turtle series, and Kenneth Graheme's, The Wind in the Willows, Cory and the Seventh Story invites kids and adults into conversations about what's going wrong in the world, and what we can do to be part of the solution. I was so honored to be a part of this project because of it's timeliness and it's lasting message.
It is a beautiful hard cover book with book jacket that is considered a long form picture book, which means it has full pages of text plus pictures on every page, making it perfect for children 6 - 9 years old, However, it really is appropriate for all audiences. :) If you are interested in ordering a copy of the book you can go to this link:
I hope you enjoy Cory and the Seventh Story and are transformed by the power of its message. Thanks for your support!
