"Gretchen & The Sunshine Rock" Book
This book is my story and was made to help children know how to do random acts of kindness!
When our nephew died suddenly, I made Sunshine Rocks for his Sisters! I'd love you to share a Sunshine Rock with someone you love.
The Pocket Rock" is a reminder rock to brighten your day or help someone else smile! The Pocket Rock is a reminder that someone is always thinking of you.
I’ve taken MY LIFE STORY and turned it into a child’s book. I am SOOOO excited to share my love of ‘random acts of kindness’ and hope my story will inspire children (and adults) to “stop and smell the flowers “ AND “scatter sunshine all along their way”! ☀️Sometimes our dreams (and life) don’t turn out exactly as we’d planned! Hardships, broken hearts, such experiences have strengthened me and made me appreciate the IMPORTANT things in life! I’m, actually, thankful for the ‘lessons’ I’ve been taught!
Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
