Hey kids (and the grownups who take care of them). I trust in Jesus. So, I write about happiness and optimism pretty much all the time. But Shakespeare said no man is an island.

13 years ago I wrote about writing for kids. And I said, “whether it’s a song, a poem, or even ebooks for kids, I often find a way to challenge them with their own lingo.” This morning I discovered Lingokids bubbles.
