In 1984, while tending my home garden in Glenwood Springs, CO, where I had just moved to begin teaching in a K-6 alternative, spiritually based school, I was pulled into my house. I frantically searched for pen and paper (I was computer illiterate in those days) so I could write down a story about caterpillars destroying a cabbage patch and how new gardeners and the caterpillars arrived at a peaceful solution.

To find more love in our lives, we all need to know how to be a good friend. Being a good friend leads to having good friends. At friendship books for children I go into greater depth about friendship.
