Why I Wrote the Tug the Heart Picture Books

As a storyteller and dad, I wanted to create a book that helps kids value and appreciate more of their daily experiences. This collection helps them consider how special he or she is; how helpful good parents and guardians can be; how to cope with losing things; and maybe a new gentle thought or two about drifting off to sleep at bedtime.
