Coloring books and Books for Educators:
Pre-schoolers love to know their gifts
Anna’s Friends Go to Preschool was written so children can begin to understand why all their friends are uniquely different; it's because God gave them each a different motivational gift based on Romans 12:6-8, and, because of these different gifts, children respond to (and interact with) their friends and family, as well as those they meet, differently.
The four stories in, Anna’s Friends Go to Preschool, take place the first day of preschool. They each tell and show how the children interact with one another based on their gift.
t the end of the book you will read some character traits that each child exhibited in the stories including others that were not mentioned. Parents and caregivers can help their children enjoy this wonderful story book while helping them discover their own motivational gifts. One mother told me that her son picked out his own gift while reading the book.

A Coloring Book for Preschoolers
Children of all ages love to color. The illustrations in this coloring book are taken from those in Anna's Friends Go to Preschool so children can color along as they read the four wonderful stories about being a really good friend, and most of all, sharing God's love.
At the bottom of each page with an illustration will be a description telling what is happening in the picture, and/or asking a question from the story, to see if the child remembers the details in the story. For example: on page 24 at the bottom of the picture, "A butterlfy is sitting on Daniel's shoulder" is taken from story #2 in Anna's Friends go to Preschool.
Children at the ages of four and five are learning to reason, so the style of learning in the book will help them develop this skill. As an added bonus, two boxes of crayons come with the purchase of this coloring book.

Illustrations books 1-4 in the Anna's Friends Series
I chose the title, Color Me Love because the motivational gifts are used to express God’s love to others. The Anna’s Friends Color Me Love coloring books are a fun way for you to get to know me and my friends a little better. There are questions before each image that help you remember a little about the picture from books #1 through #4.
For more fun, there are some puzzles at the end of each section that you’ll enjoy doing. All of the answers to the puzzles are at the end of the coloring book in case you need some help, but really try and find them on your own first. It’s more fun that way. And, the words in the sentences scattered throughout the Color Me Love coloring book can be colored too!
You can color the letters on the next page to practice staying inside the lines if you want to. Jesse, one of my friends, really likes to color. It’s one of the traits of his gift of serving.

This is book #2 of the Color Me Love coloring book. When we use our motivational gifts, we receive God’s life force to give his love. The Anna’s Friends Color Me Love-2 coloring book is a fun way for you to get to know Sarah, Jesse, Cayden, and Daniel a little better.
Just like the first Color Me Love coloring book, there are multiple choice questions before each image that help you remember a little about the pictures from books #5 through #8. And, there are puzzles at the end of each section too.
All of the answers are at the end of the book in case you need some help, but it’s more fun to find them on your own first. You can color the letters on the next page to practice staying inside the lines if you want to. And, make them pretty colors too! Sarah has the motivational gift of teaching. Did you have great fun reading about the book-a-thon that Sarah planned?

Anna's Friends Love to Draw
Drawing keeps kiddos busy for hours
Much research has proven that when the arts are taken out of schools, grades go down and crime goes up. The opposite is true: when arts are added to regular study programs, grades go up and crime goes down.
Perhaps the prisons would be less crowded if those who possessed the God given ability to create had been given the same priority in training. Getting into trouble seems to be the avenue that unfulfilled students appear to take simply due to lack of creative stimulation.
If we could truly understand the creative mind then we could better understand what motivates children and begin to offer options that are equally as important as reading, writing and arithmetic.
Today, visual stimulation is left to television and the computer and the soul becomes muddied rather than developed. This book has been created to offer an avenue to those who want to develop the artist at their own pace.

Anna's Friends for Educators, 3rd to 5th
When you were a child, perhaps as young as seven or eight years old, do you remember parents, teachers, or friends and family members asking you that all-consuming question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” You may have been asked the same question each year until you were in high school. How many times did your answer change? Are you doing now what you envisioned doing—when you grew up?
The reason may be as simple as this: that we never discovered our gifts. In Understanding Your Student’s Motivational Gifts, you will learn why your students get along with some children quite well and others not so well. Some of your students will do their homework religiously and some maybe not so. Some may disrupt the class on a regular basis and some will be so quiet you’ll barely know they are in class.

Discover Your Child's Motivational Gifts
A Workbook for Parents and Guardians
I've often heard parents wonder, Why does my child get along with some children really well, and others not so well, and why do others barely speak ten sentences in a day while others are boisterous or flamboyant? Moreover, why is this really important? Here’s a good example: Sally tends to be rebellious and head strong. This is a common trait of a child that has a motivational gift of facilitation (leadership support). They are not rebelling, they are simply created to lead.
In Discover Your Child's Motivational Gifts, you will learn why your children respond to life the way they do; why they get along with some children quite well and others not so well; why some barely speak ten sentences in a day, and others are boisterous or flamboyant. This guide will also help you understand why your children gravitate toward certain vocations as they are growing up. And, you will discover that just because they came from their parent’s egg and sperm they may not necessarily be a carbon copy of the two.
