Life’s Little Lessons: The Sharing Star

Serenity is very good at sharing things. She is happy to divide the play clay or the paint pots to share with the other kids at kindergarten. But when her mom has a new baby and the new baby shares her space and--more importantly--her mom’s attention Serenity finds it much harder to share. She shares her fears with her mom, and feels much better, realizing that there is more than enough love at home to go around.

Amber Stewart grew up in rural Dorset, England, and escaped as soon as she could to study Russian literature at the University of London. However, she never got over her childhood joy of reading Winnie-the-Pooh and--since graduating many moons ago--she has enjoyed an ongoing career in children’s publishing, as well as her own writing career. Ironically, Amber now lives in rural Northamptonshire with her family and other animals, including a big gray horse and a small gray dog.
