Guest Post - Inspiring Kids to Spread Love with Children’s Book Author & Pharmacist Dr. Sonia Amin
Hi there! My name is Dr. Sonia Amin, and I'm honored to have the opportunity to share a little bit about myself and my heart behind the children's books I have written in my Social-Emotional Learning Series.
With February being a month we celebrate LOVE, I wanted to focus on how we can spread more love through the power of kindness and generosity while practicing wise financial habits. We should not underestimate the power of kindness and generosity. Studies have shown that being kind and generous improves our happiness and well-being and can lead to better financial outcomes. When we practice acts of kindness, such as volunteering, donating to charity, or simply being there for a friend in need, we build stronger relationships and create a supportive community. This effort can lead to new opportunities and greater fulfillment, positively impacting our financial future.
Combining kindness and financial literacy can create a cycle of generosity and financial stability. For example, by volunteering our time and skills, we can help others, gain valuable experience, and make new connections that could lead to job opportunities and other financial benefits.
Sharing kindness and being financially literate go hand in hand. By focusing on both, we can create a more positive and fulfilling life for ourselves and those around us. So, why not start today? Practice acts of kindness and take control of your finances. Then, watch the ripple effect!
- Who You Are?
I'm a wife, mom, pharmacist, and award-winning children's book author. Some of my favorite things include reading, journaling, and spending time in prayer. Yes, I love sitting and praying.
- What made you become a children's book author?
I've been reading to my kids since they were infants, and it's one of my favorite things to do with them. I always noticed what joy our time together would bring and how much they loved reading books. Seeing the smiles on their faces and the impact books made in their lives spurred me to want to write stories that would encourage them. My books are perfect for anyone looking for wholesome content for their children. In addition, they are valuable resources for parents and educators to help inspire kids to make wise choices.
My debut book, Bax and His Bubbles: All About a Kid and His Thoughts, uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help kids foster healthy thinking habits by choosing what thought bubbles to keep and which ones to let go. And my newest release, When Love Flows: The Beauty of Encouraging Others, uses water imagery to help kids embrace the power of encouraging others through our words, actions, and written notes.
- Why did you write the books?
Initially, my thought was to write stories solely for my kids to enjoy. Then, they could pass them down to their children, which would be an excellent way to share a part of our family for generations to come. However, as this dream continued to stir in my heart, I believed God was calling me to share these stories with children all over the world.
- Where can people find your books?
My books are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, and other retailers. And if your local bookstore or library doesn't carry them, they can easily be ordered through their preferred wholesaler.
