Children are curious and want real answers to their questions. Be honest with them. Even if they don't understand what you are saying now, giving them answers that will make sense to them later in life, even about such delicate information as the birth of a baby, is important.

Patricia began writing poems in grade school. While in junior high, she wrote short stories about the children in her neighborhood and those she baby sat. When she became a parent, she began writing and making small story books for her children based on questions they asked or things they had done. After becoming a grandmother, she began writing stories about the personalities and quirks of her grandchildren. With the encouragement of her family and friends, she finally had enough courage to put her first story "No Room For Monsters", into print. Now, she is looking forward to sharing the other stories she has written, each with information and lessons to share.
