• Metaphors and Symbolism. As a child she attended a church program where she first discovered metaphors and symbolism. The leader told the children that the band on his left hand was actually just a solid metal circle. Its importance was that it was a symbol of his marriage. ("This was very deep for a 4-year-old.")
• Being a Good Example. It is a responsibility that each adult carries. ("Children remember everything. From the stop sign one rolls through to the words yelled at an umpire to the kindness one shows to others.")
• Boundaries, Direction, and Teachable Moments. Kids respond to all three. ("These come from her years as a family counselor, as a Juvenile Probation Officer, and when she later became a parent!")
• Fun and humor.
The Max and Mollie books started many years ago when Ardis began traveling regularly to Mexico. She has been fortunate to develop a very special and important relationship with a poor (yet wise) woman named Lilia. Ardis channeled her love for Lilia, sea glass, and her two children into the first book of the Max and Mollie series: Max, Mollie and the Magic of Sea Glass. It has since been expanded into a chapter book for children ages 6 - 10, titled Max and Mollie Discover the Magic of Sea Glass.vizualizați mai puține
