Mrs. Trotter enters the
classroom abruptly as she addresses the behavior of her students. “In my class,
it is important that you not only learn the value of reading but the value of relationships.
Since we are all getting acquainted with one another, I think it is fair to say
we need more time to learn what great things we all have to offer. I know there
is good in each one of you, but I could not tell from the terrible display of behavior
I just witnessed. It deeply saddens me that you would treat one of your
classmates this way. Now, we will do an activity, so we can all learn the
importance of being nice to one another. First, I want everyone to start by
apologizing to Love.
Love smiles shyly as she
stands before the class. The group of students says in unison, "I'm sorry,
Love." “Thank you,” Love says quietly as she takes the short path that
leads to her desk. She is glad to finally sit in her seat.
Mrs. Trotter continues,
“Next, I want you to say one nice thing about the person sitting next to you.
Tia, since you are in the front, we will start with you and go across the row
to each person until we reach the back. Michael, since you are the last person
in the back of the class, you will say something nice about Tia.”

Through news outlets, social media, family, and friends she noticed a lack of
sensitivity that children have today. This has led to an increase in
bullying, lack of positive self-image and acceptance, as well as
family issues. Upon discovering this powerful message that needed to
be addressed she decided to self-publish her first book entitled Baby
Love. This book provides children from ages 13 and up with a straight
forward approach to some of today’s most pressing issues. While
tackling the aforementioned issues plaguing some of our youth, it
also provides a direct approach on how they can be handled, while
also teaching lessons of love and kindness. Unlike the normal cookie
cutter children’s stories, this book is also honest to the core
with some of the real issues that exist within families across America.
