Meet the Kids
Ruthie, Clark, and their friends on Ashwood Lane discover the joy of friendship and kindness as they journey through challenges and big questions, celebrating who they are and the uniqueness of all children.
Clark After Dark
Clark is a dreamer with a huge universe to explore. But as much as he looks out into the galaxy he can’t help but wonder about our little place in the grand scheme. His observations of the night sky lead him to thoughts about how we all play a role in making the world a better place.
Parents will find support in talking to their kids about feeling helpless in a world full of obstacles, but also finding courage and purpose in a world full of hope.
Rootin Tootin Ruthie and the Candy Bandit
Two young kids find that no matter what they do at night to hide their candy it all goes missing! They call on a little girl named Ruthie to help them figure out how to catch the Candy Bandit and stop the thief from stealing all their treats!
Parents will recognize the value of teaching kids about teamwork and compassion but also how to help care for family pets so they grow up strong and healthy.
Coming to paperback soon!
