Apple the Cat

This book was created through a story writing program with Reconciliation Services. Over a dozen Foster Grandparents participated in three writing workshops to create a picture book to read to kids in Kansas City. The participants agreed that their heroes were their parents and those who spoke into their lives. They shared stories of travel, and stories of loss, of new pets, love and family, and all kinds of adventures. What kinds of stories and books resonated with students the most? True ones. And they explored what they wanted to pass on: honoring family and faith, finding challenging careers, and overcoming hardship. The compilation of those workshops and characters built by these amazing storytellers became this book!
