This week, my guest post “Spirituality and writing for children” appeared on the blog Spiritually Speaking, produced by the Times Colonist newspaper in Victoria, BC. (The blog’s creator invited me to contribute and I was delighted to oblige.)
I was happy to share my story about how Gracie Got a Secret came to be. You’ll discover some of Gracie’s “secrets.” Click here to read my post.
My alma mater, Neuchatel Junior College (for Ontario grade 13 curriculum), has featured a photo and write-up about Gracie’s Got a Secret in its online alumni Class Notes.

If you like my book Gracie’s Got a Secret, why not write a comment on the Gracie blog on this website? Or if you prefer, you could write one on Amazon.com. I’d love to hear from parents, grandparents, children — anyone who appreciates sharing stories with young ones. Let’s inspire the next generation with books and reading!
“In this delightful children’s book, a little fish leads the way through a wonderful adventure in which she meets and helps other creatures through their dilemmas by sharing her secret with them. . . . Heather Conn is a skilled children’s author and Lillian Lai’s illustrations are beautifully crafted — giving readers a truly professional product by a talented team.”
