I am the words on the written page

Lois Davis Children’s Author #ethos of kindness
I write children’s books for a time when the world needs more kindness. My mission is to do whatever I can to explain why kindness is cool and bullying is so not cool.
Kindness and consideration, and helping others not only benefits the recipient but can be a very positive experience for the person giving. With the resulting encouragement that a child may receive, and ultimately the pride that child will feel, it can undoubtedly boost their self-esteem.
Giving can come in the smallest of ways that we as parents, teachers, and grandparents can convey to our children. Just a smile can brighten someone’s day, asking how someone is feeling, giving a hug, or simply putting a penny in a charity box.
My hope is that whilst bringing kindness to the world, children will love my stories as much as I love writing them.
In the meantime, you are welcome to find me on Facebook.
