The David Watson Podcast #207 When your searching for somewhere to belong

Annie Fox is an author of books for children and teens.

Annie loves making art, baking, gardening, photography, hiking in the San Francisco Bay Area, traveling, and, most of all, being with her husband David and her family, including Gracie the Dog.

The Little Things That Kill: A Teen Friendship Afterlife Apology Tour was her debut novel and Leeta Simtar: A Life on Two Planets is her latest.

Every author has a journey.

Mine began in childhood with the gift of a diary and the discovery that magic happens when one puts pen to paper.

The magic of whole worlds conjured out of nothing, populated by characters real enough to command their own destiny.

My love of stories and my need to create them led to the publication of my first book People Are Like Lollipops.

That simple picture book for young children, written while I was still a college student, celebrated diversity.

Many years and thirteen books later, I’m still motivated by the tremendous power of stories to help young readers develop empathy, compassion and resilience.

Through my public events for kids, teens, parents, I continue the joyful work of empowering young people through increased self-awareness and emotional intelligence skill-building.
