The Sid Series is an adorable book with some really sweet pictures that help illustrate the twelve stories. The book is written for children ages 2 to 5, but older kids and parents will also like it because the stories teach a lesson and help folks understand some “grown up” topics such as recycling, talking to angels, finding the gifts within yourself, dealing with the death of the family pet, and accepting a new baby into the family. I like the way the author wrote herself into the story as Von-Von. She is the grandmother of a boy named Sidney who has a special gift of healing and a big understanding of spirit life. I’m recommending this book to my kid’s teachers to read to the class. My kids love the book. We hope Yvonne comes out with a coloring book for the series.


The book is available at http://writersinthesky.com/holistic-children.html as a printed book or as an e-book.
