"Small Things," the next book from Best Friend Books to be released soon!

A simple picture book reminding children of Mother Theresa’s adage that even if we can’t do great things, we can do small things with great love.

"Small Things," the next book from Best Friend Books to be released soon!
Best Friend Books, LLC

A week ago, our latest book, "Is, Was, Will Be," was released. My partner and the author of Best Friend Books, has written six others. Last week I wrote about one of those "All Means All - a simple book about what it means to be an American." — a book that focuses on the United States Bill of Rights. This week, I finished the illustrations for "Small Things."

"Small Things" is a book based on the following Mother Teresa quote:

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

I approached this book with the idea of creating illustrations that were simple and direct — a bit more so than our previous books. In keeping with our brand, I have "called back" other characters in strategic ways. We want to do this with all our books. You would think that it would be difficult, but the tone and messages in all of Lisa's books, makes the calling back of other characters seamless. Friends from previous releases naturally found their way into "Small Things" in the most appropriate, heartfelt ways.

"Small Things" will, tentatively, be available the second week of February (if not sooner). Please like Best Friend Books' page on Facebook @bestfriendbooksinfo and visit our website for upcoming titles and news.

Best Friend Books’ mission is to empower kids (and adults) and promote loving kindness, and diversity.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
