About the Book

Finding Grace is a story of a clumsy young girl who is not very nice to other kids because she is scared. Her parents give her ballet lessons hoping she will gain confidence. She begins to feel more in control of her body and her emotions. Her mother remarks how graceful she has become and asks about whether she has grace in her heart and spirit. Their discussion, between the dance classes, highlights concepts of grace beyond the body, such as treating each other kindly, being forgiving, thinking about others, being loving, and making things right. The charming illustrations by Fernanda Miguel Godinez Zuniga, a student at the school for the deaf in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, bring the story to life. It is bilingual, English and Spanish, challenging kids to learn a second language.
About the Author: LeoNora M. Cohen is emeritus professor of education at Oregon State University. Her research focused on creativity, talent development, coping, and children's interests. At university, Nora was a Latin American Studies major, conducting research in Cali Colombia that greatly helped her Spanish fluency and led her to become a teacher and educator. But what she really loves is writing children's books! Maybe it is because she now has two adorable little grand children. In retirement, Nora spends winters in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. There, she volunteers with several non-profit organizations that help children and the greater community. To benefit these organizations, she writes bilingual children's books in English and Spanish. All book royalties are donated to these NGOs. She is currently working on her 26th book. Nora invites high school students to illustrate her stories, paying them well for their efforts. She loves mentoring them to grow into professional-level illustrators who create images of the characters and actions that help children understand the story's meaning in both languages. LeoNora M. Cohen es profesora emérita de Educación en Oregon State University. Su investigación se centra en l creatividad, desarrollo de talentosos; superación personal, e intereses de los niños. En la universidad, Nora se concentró en estudios sobre América Latina, y llevó a cabo investigaciones en Cali, Colombia. Esta experiencia le ayudó en gran medida en el idioma español y a convertirse en maestra y educadora. ¡Pero lo que realmente le gusta es escribir libros para niños! Tal vez es porque ella ahora tiene dos adorables nietos. Durante su jubilación, Nora pasa los inviernos en San Miguel de Allende, en México. Allá, Nora es voluntaria en varias organizaciones sin fines de lucro que apoyan a los niños y a la comunidad. Para beneficiar a estas organizaciones, ella escribe libros infantiles bilingües en inglés y español. Todas las regalías de los libros son donados a esas organizaciones. Nora está trabajando actualmente en su libro 26. Nora invita a los estudiantes de prepa a hacer las ilustraciones de sus libros, pagándoles bien por sus esfuerzos. A ella le encanta ayudarles para que crezcan y sean ilustradores de nivel profesional, trabajando con ellos para representar el cuento y crear maravillosas ilustraciones de los personajes y sus acciones que ayuden a los niños a entender el significado de la historia en los dos idiomas.
