Hello My Friends,

It’s that time of year when I share important things I learned throughout the year. This was another year filled with new life lessons for me:

1. Follow Your Heart – Go where your heart leads you, it never fails and will take you where you’re meant to be
2. Use Your Voice – Bark as loud as necessary in order to be heard
3. Embrace Your Friends – Good friends are priceless and it’s important to help each other

Mommy and I wish you a Happy New Year and I’m so grateful you are in my life.

Lovingly, Grace

We are so blessed to have each of you in our lives supporting the Everybody Loves Grace series and all the books are doing to impact lives. Thank you, we absolutely love the feedback we received from children and adults alike throughout the year!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and many fun-filled adventures in the New Year. Grace says, “Just remember, every day is an adventure.”

Lovingly, Katy and Grace

Remember I mentioned teamwork in my last blog? A very important person on my team is Susan Lavalley. She creates the beautiful illustrations for the Everybody Loves Grace books to include the covers and inside of each book.

When Mommy writes my stories, I let her know when the manuscript is done. Yes, that’s true! Then the first person Mommy calls is Susan. I hear Mommy ask her, “are you ready to start illustrating Grace’s newest adventure?”

It’s fun listening to Mommy talk with Susan about what she has in store for each book during the creative process.

It really takes a team to bring my stories to life and I’m so lucky Susan Lavalley is on my team. A fun fact about Susan is that she and her husband, Pete, own and operate Humble Bees Farm, a Local Missouri Beekeeping Farm.

Lovingly, Grace
