Thomas the Turkey: Thanksgiving Feather Hunt Fun!
Thomas is a turkey and he has lost all his feathers-gasp! In this book, readers will retrace Thomas’s steps around the house, picking up a feather at each location until they have helped Thomas find all seven of his brightly colored feathers. (The secret of this book is this: The child’s parents or older siblings must first hide the feathers for the child to find, making the hunt easy or hard depending on the child’s age.) The child will love taking part in this feather hunt, and families will adore this new Thanksgiving tradition.

- Review by Amy Louise Hill for Readers’ Favorite:
“Author Lindsay Ann Fink has designed a perfect book that demonstrates how hard work is needed when it comes to building something you desperately want. It will make a good book for educating young children about the importance of this as they need to understand that not everything will be given to them simply because they asked for it. The images used in Ronnie’s Pool are realistic, with the added illustrations of Ronnie and the other characters, which I found to be unique and clever as I haven’t seen many like this before. I think it works perfectly. I adored this story and the message behind it, and I hope to read more of Lindsay Ann Fink’s work in the future. Good luck and keep writing!”
US Review
This work is wonderful in many ways. For example, it is a sensory treat. The smooth, glossy pages are easy to turn, and the photographs and illustrations by Michele N. Tupper are beautiful, vibrant, and tell their own stories in gently humorous ways. Additionally, the lessons of the story are practical, sensible, and demonstrate kindness as well as the fruitfulness of collaboration. The underlying message is that if one wants something, it is important to persevere and ask for and accept the help that others may offer.

The Boy of Joy: Healing through connection after family loss
The Boy of Joy is a story about a close family friend who sadly lost their youngest brother. Although the sadness is difficult to deal with, the whole family slowly finds ways of coping by doing things they love and connecting to nature. They all start to notice the beautiful signs their brother keeps sending them. This brings the joy back into their family as they all find rainbows and hearts and feathers from their youngest brother. Energy never dies, it just changes form. Even though he is no longer here he is now everywhere.
The choice is yours if you want to be angry about things then be angry, if you want to be sad be sad. Or you could choose to see the beautiful moments, to see the beautiful signs as well, it’s up to you. I will choose to see the rainbow after the rain and the hearts in the clouds, it brings me a smile for a mile every time.

“What a sweet little read. Little Palm is a wonderful book that made me feel warm inside. Palm trees remind me of summer, and I enjoyed seeing Little Palm decorated for Earth Day. Although I do see Earth Day acknowledged each year, I have never seen it celebrated the way it was in this book. I thought the illustrations were adorable, and Tavi and Tylee’s process of figuring out what exactly they wanted to paint on Little Palm was fun to see play out. Each design was better than the last, and I love how they ended up decorating Little Palm. I would recommend Little Palm by Lindsay Ann Fink to children and their parents. It is a great read featuring a global day meant to celebrate the earth.”

Peace in War: Learn to find peace & love amongst the chaos
It’s all about perspective, how you choose to see the world. What kind of world do you want to create for our children? When we find peace in ourselves we can create peace in the world. We reap what we sow. The way we talk to ourselves escalates and transcends to our children, and becomes the way they talk to themselves. Let them see how we can generate good in the world when things seem to be chaotic and desperate. In times of darkness and sadness look for the helpers, look for the people making peace amongst the chaos. When you see a fight, an accident, or a war, you can see the sadness and pain, or you can choose to see the ones helping those in need. It’s a choice to see the peace and a choice to be the peace.
It starts with a seed, the seed we plant in our mind’s eye. Take the time to plant the seeds of hope, beauty, and love. Take actionable steps towards a more peaceful life, start in the home. These steps will create a peaceful future for our children and our children’s children.
Choose peace.

“Peace in War by Lindsay Ann Fink is a much-needed children’s book in a chaotic world where good deeds are necessary. It’s a special and impressive read with a strong and truthful message that will endure for lifetimes. The writing and the uniqueness of the illustrations captured my attention from the start as they are very impactful. Peace in War informs children that their thoughts become their actions and their actions can bring peace, joy, and change. Lindsay Ann Fink reminds us of the most powerful weapons against war and motivates us to use them to heal the world from chaos and despair. This realistic yet uplifting children’s book is an essential read for youngsters as it empowers them to do great things for others. I honestly can’t recommend it enough.”
