Author Description

Christie decided to write Inspire to Include with her 8-year-old daughter, Olivia, because they believe that the discussion of belonging needs to begin early in a child's life. Through delightful stories and engaging activities, this book inspires young readers to contemplate how their actions and words can make others feel included and happy - a sense of belonging. It explores the act of kindness, not just in words but in actions, and teaches the powerful impact of showing gratitude. Each page is a new opportunity to learn about inclusion, kindness, and gratitude. This book is a guide to building friendships and creating a community where everyone feels welcome and valued.
