High School Counselor Dana Meldrum has always wanted to write a book based on the quotes she collected in her daughter’s baby book. She says, “ I have always been inspired by love, acts of love, stories of love, and feelings
of love. When my oldest, Matty, repeatedly asked about love, I began putting quotes in her baby book. As an aspiring author, I finally decided to put love into action. I have always lived under the premise that if used correctly, LOVE is the most important word, feeling, and action. It is a premise that our household has always lived under, and one that I hope my girls never forget. Living in the beauty of Montana and finding joy in being a school counselor, I am forever grateful
in the world I live in. Find grace, be grateful, and love with your whole heart.” The illustrations in this book, created by the now teenage Matty Meldrum, are representations of her childhood artwork. |
