"Precious Gift," (original 96') reworked 2026.

Here it is, the third tome of "The Children of Lost Things Found" is out - The Broken String Whilst most Children’s Books fall into tropes of fantasy – all well and good, of course – or tailor specifically to one culture (to balance what authors/publishing companies perceive as an imbalanced shelf), the series The Children of Lost Things Found focuses on telling a story and imparting a virtue. Each story and every lesson have contemporary significance using history, a call to action, and cultural respect. Each book of the series follows a group of children seeking to return traits – such as goodness, honesty, truth, etcetera – to a world, our world, that seems to have lost them. The children are sent backward and forward in time to events and peoples who personify these traits. The Children of Lost Things Found gives readers of all backgrounds insight into other cultures, traditions, religions, and histories they might not ordinarily have an opportunity to understand. In the end, we want everyone to learn that talking to, and working with, the person across from you is always better than looking down at, or relying on, a screen. In "The Broken String", our trio of heroes - Artie (from Midwest, America), Olesea (from the Ukraine), and Priya (from India) - visit 12th Century France, and quickly find a Troubadour named Guilam, who they must help prove that True Love transcends class differences. From a Cathedral to a Fief to a Fairy Circle, they eventually find themselves on trial in Aliénor d'Aquitaine's Court of Love. >> Check out the Children of Lost Thing Found serie!
