Author Description

Speck, a simple piece of sand, wants to be important. But how does one piece of sand find worth when it is one of literally trillions? Let your imagination take a beach vacation and get carried away by Speck's Amazing Adventure. And discover how even the smallest piece of sand can make a world of difference! Speck's Amazing Adventure is perfect for young readers ages 4 - 7 and parents who want to talk about self-discovery with their children. Book 1 of the Mrs. Pea Children's Book Series, this series empowers children by opening the lines of communication about important life lessons and social topics often hard to discuss, in addition to promoting literacy, health and wellness. As a mother of three, author and illustrator Kat Parrish knows first-hand the importance of talking about difficult subject matter with her own 'pod of peas.' That is why each book in this series is designed to foster awareness and aid discussion about the following topics: Building Self-Esteem, Valuing Individuality, Friendship, Coping with Grief and Loss of Loved Ones, Non-Traditional Families, Recognizing Abuse, Talking to Adults About Abuse, Families of Addiction and Bullying.
