THINK OUTSIDE THE BOWL

Hi, welcome to Gracie’s fishbowl. She’s an impatient and feisty little goldfish, who’s the star of my picture book Gracie’s Got a Secret. That’s her on the front cover above and inside the blue square below. Her brother, Freddie, is beside her. Her dad is on the bottom left, her mom on the right.

In my children’s tale, Gracie escapes her fishbowl and leaves her family, determined to share a secret with the outside world. Along the way, she befriends Mopey, a weepy alligator who’s stuck in the sewer, and Nellie, a circus elephant with dreams of freedom. By helping her new pals, Gracie learns to slow down and go with the flow, gaining remarkable results, and a clear way back to a loving home.

This uplifting story, which comes with engaging questions to prompt discussion, invites children to believe in themselves, support others, and find their inner stillness.
