Description

"Growing up, I always wanted to make a difference in the world. I wanted to share my love and inspirations with others in hopes to create positivity around me. I have always loved writing, but never dreamed of becoming an author. A little over a year ago, I lost my grandmother. She was the sunshine and joy in my life. When my Gram, Sheila, passed, I felt like I lost my way. The path that I was so sure on just did not seem right anymore. So, I wrote this story while grieving in hopes to find a way for not only myself, but my family to heal as well. Now, fast forward 6 months, and I am here with my first children’s book and I owe a huge thank you to her!" 

In addition to her book reading, Franke will share her journey as a first-time author. She will discuss her source of inspiration, lead a fun Q&A with visitors, and share the steps she took to become published and marketing tips she’s learned along the way.

After the reading of The Ladybug Who Lived on a Four Leaf Clover, you can paint your own ladybug rock to place in your plants, garden or special spot!
