The Welcome Cookies

“This story shows how changes can be good for us, and it also shows the importance of accepting differences. And it includes a yummy recipe to make your own Welcome Cookies!”
- In The Good Books Blog
“This story, based on the author's daughter's experiences, helps young readers understand that sometimes change is inevitable and we miss what was, often the new can be as good as the old, perhaps even better. So while what was can be a precious memory, there are new memories to be made and we can actively make these.”

“This is a sweet (pardon the pun) story for 4 to 8-year-olds to remind us that changes happen in life and there can be positives in the new.” 
-Buzz Words Magazine 
“Covering important topics of adapting, new beginnings and community, this book certainly opened up conversations with my kids about emotions and coping with change. Mstr 6 & Mstr 5 “love the cookies” and the book has a big thumbs up from them..”
