Baby You Are Loved:

The Beginning

"Baby, You Are Loved: The Beginning" is the first installment in a children's series designed for co-parenting families, to help them have those difficult-yet necessary, conversations with their children, and to help them adjust to their new co-parenting lifestyle. "Baby, You Are Loved" gives children a platform and sounding board to process and express their feelings involving their coping with changes in their lives, due to co-parenting.

It is imperative that youth have the opportunity to process their feelings with co-parenting...if they don't, we will see it show up in other aspects of their lives, like the classroom.

Barbara R. Johns, a biography for National Women's History Museum

One of the many things I have learned while studying The Civil Rights Movement is that the children were always on the front line in the fight for freedom! One of those phenomenal leaders was Virginia's own, Barbara R. Johns. "As a teenager, Barbara Johns helped organize a strike that eventually led to the desegregation of schools in the United States." I wrote this brief biography on her life for National Women's History Museum, to celebrate her narrative nationwide.
