Hello, everyone!
Today, I want to introduce you to a wonderfully creative and gifted children’s author that I had the privilege to meet at a book event recently, Sarah Ann Kinnear.
I talked to her about her inspiration and book concept and was blown away by her multi-faceted books from being beautifully illustrated by a woman who lives in Denmark (and Sarah flies to Denmark for vacation and has actually met her illustrator in person) to the fun adventure mystery stories told in a series of books to the puzzle piece that is included in each book that will ultimately be something a child can put together!!
More than your money’s worth is included in these wonderful books, plus the positive messages inside.
Now, let’s get started…
Little Pearl’s Reflection
Little Pearl’s Reflection is a children’s mystery adventure series of 7 books. At
the conclusion of each book there are 3 questions for children and adults to
discuss together, plus a surprise puzzle piece. Enter the contest to have YOUR
name as the character who helps Little Pearl find her lost mother! 70% of all
profit from sales is designated for helping children via children’s hospitals,
charities, schools, and Ronald McDonald Houses. Best of all – it’s fun and exciting
for all ages to read together!
On the eve of her 7th birthday, Little Pearl and her mother travel to a nearby
meadow and lie down side by side to watch the stars. Little Pearl falls asleep.
Suddenly she is awakened by a loud CRACK! When she opens her eyes, she sees
blue skies and no storm clouds – but she realizes that her mother is GONE! Little
Pearl decides to search for her lost mother by following the Old Winding River
around the Big Purple Mountain. Help Little Pearl search for her lost mother, Anna!
Volume 1: Little Pearl’s Reflection: The Light in the Window
Come along on her birthday adventure! In “The Light in the Window” you will meet five of Little Pearl’s new friends: Miss Sophie, a blind old woman who
gives Little Pearl a surprise birthday gift; Rusty, an inquisitive, talking red bird; InOut,
a disappearing blue bunny; the Ponte V, a wise and beautiful ivy bridge; and
Olivia, a shy, kind, and understanding gold fish.
Read or listen as Little Pearl, now a teenager, relates the tale of her search for her lost mother and her amazing birthday adventure. Follow the Old Winding River, and travel across the beautiful, small Pacific island toward the Big Purple Mountain.
Volume 2: Little Pearl’s Reflection: The Secret of the Smiling Rocks
Join Little Pearl as she continues her search for her lost mother, Anna!
Come along again on her birthday adventure in, “The Secret of the Smiling Rocks.”
You will meet three more of Little Pearl’s new friends: Henry, a small happy rock who explains part of ‘The Secret’ of the smiling rocks to Little Pearl; Rosie, a large pink elder crystal who tells the ancient tale of Little Pearl’s island home and the herd of Unicorns living in the caves of the Big Purple Mountain; and Syd, an adventurous turquoise snake who comes along to search with the friends by looking for Anna’s footprints. Little Pearl also learns about the majestic White Unicorn who flies and helps to heal all creatures on the island.
Volume 3: Little Pearl’s Reflection: When the Plants Throw a Party
Celebrate with Little Pearl and her friends on her next birthday
adventure, “When the Plants Throw a Party,” and travel into the deep, dark Evergreen Forest.
Meet Little Pearl’s new friends: Abraham, an old ironwood tree
who is celebrating his 100th birthday with his brother trees, Gulmohar and Baobab;
beautiful Gracie, an Egyptian cat dressed in gold jewelry who joins the search for Little Pearl’s mother; and Grinnd, a wise old owl who had made his home in Abe’s knothole. Join Little Pearl and her friends as they magically dance in the forest,
and Little Pearl receives a birthday gift of a mysterious old map.
