School is More Than a Building

A new children's book

This past year has been tough on all of us. My kids really hated being stuck at home and were overjoyed to be back in school again. I hadn't realized just how hard it was going to be for them being out of school for so long. They missed their friends, their teachers, and everything about the way their school day used to be. The day they went back, I felt inspired to write a story. It's called School is More Than a Building

A great school is so much more than a building, it is a place where...

The pandemic has made it painfully clear just how sensitive children are to the world around them and how important schools are for many children’s health and well-being. Not all children come from a happy home and for many schools are a place of refuge and escape. It is important that children are aware that schools are not only a place of learning but a safe place where there are people that they can trust and go to if they need help. Please help me in making schools a positive place for children where they are able to learn in an environment where they feel safe and loved.

You can watch my story-time video including a sneak preview into the world of illustration and a drawing lesson on my website KelleyDonner.com. In addition, you'll find a resource pack for primary schools with lesson plans, activity sheets, and art lessons. 

School is More Than a Building is now available on Amazon, and from most major book retailers such as Barnes and Noble, Target, Follett, and the Book Depository.
