Author Description

Suddenly the tail of a kite gently brushed the ground where Sandy was pecking. “What is that?” wondered Sandy. She had never seen a kite before and thought it was magical! How could it fly without any wings? Within seconds, she immediately flew into the sky to follow it! Hope cried out, “Hey, Sandy! Where are you going?” “I want to see where it goes!” said Sandy. So began their journey, following the kite into the brilliant blue sky. In Sandy’s Safe Place to Land, Lisa Graham takes us on a magical seafaring journey! With beautiful seascape scenes on every page, the story introduces the readers to the three virtues that will last forever: faith, hope, and love. Through the warm and colorful characters of Sandy, the sandpiper; Hope, a seaside sparrow; Faith, the playful kite; and Sofiel, a life raft, we learn about how God’s love is there for any child or adult who seeks it. Based on a real-life experience that happened to her on a New Jersey beach, the author shares this sweet story as a great tool for parents, teachers, and caregivers to talk about the value of friendship, resilience, and the importance of faith, hope, and love in a child’s life.
