All proceeds from this book support children and families in need.Kathryn the Grape SongbooksKathryn the Grape Songbooks are learning tools for children. Since speech and language processing happens in different hemispheres of the brain, when a child sings along to a song while seeing the words they are singing, they activate both areas simultaneously. This dual activation assists with comprehension, memory retention, sight word recognition, phonemic awareness, and overall cognitive development. Kathryn the Grape Songbooks support diverse learning styles and abilities with entertaining and educational songs, illustrated books, and engaging videos.Father Joe - A Humble HeroThis book was inspired by Father Joe Carroll's example of goodness. Father Joe (1941-2021) helped millions of unhoused neighbors in need have access to meals, housing, education, job training, medical care, and more. Author Kathryn Cloward created the six golden seeds concept from life lessons she gained from Father Joe during her over 150 hours of recorded conversations with him while gathering information for writing his memoir, Father Joe: Life Stories of a Hustler Priest. "Father Joe's Six Golden Seeds" shares the true story of how her signature purple outfit came from the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in downtown San Diego, California when Kathryn's mom worked alongside Father Joe in the early years of his work with unhoused neighbors in need.About Kathryn the Grape-Purple-Powered PositivityKathryn Cloward is Kathryn the Grape. Bringing her childhood nickname to life as an illustrated character was originally her mom's idea; Kathryn was inspired to create heart-centered stories and songs to share positive messages of love, compassion, understanding, and inclusivity. By sharing with children, Kathryn knows she is also sharing with adults. A prolific storyteller of simplification, she is passionate and purposeful in her desire to provide children, families, caregivers, and educators with simple and relatable tools for navigating life.

Life works in funny ways, but it always works out just the way it's supposed to. When I met my husband, Bryn, I knew that I had found someone to support that dream as he dreamt of being a father the very same. Our dream proved to be a bit more challenging than we thought when we both went through our own separate cancer diagnosis' only one year apart. After finding out that my husband could not have biological children, our search for a donor began. I understand that this story may not be relatable to every partner or parenting scenario.
