Special Needs Children, The Angels On My Shoulder

This is a memoir of my twenty-five years teaching children with special needs. It’s a love story about the special students and others who over the years graced my life with just that, their grace.

With hearts of angels and challenges to face, the children took me along their journeys and inspired my own life’s journey of self-discovery. When sorrow came, their kindness helped me through. The synchronicity of events from high school to retirement changed my life for the better, turning my face toward heaven.

Praise for Special Needs Children

Sharpe's ability to see the good in circumstances and people identifies the 'special' in 'special needs' as she delineates her journey through the education system and those teaching and social encounters which changed her perspective and life.

Teachers (especially those working with special needs kids) will find this spiritual and social reflection easily accessible. It's presented in vignettes which offer small, digestible bites of insight into a world where angels and kindness are present in more than one form.

Education and spirituality collections alike will find Special Needs Children details a unique viewpoint and is an uplifting read.
Midwest Book Review

"This book should be required reading for all teaching students; not just special needs teachers. This book has so much value in demonstrating the positive affects that teachers can have on students, and also the blessings that students provide to their teachers. It would show new teachers personal benefits which they may have not yet realized. It is heart-warming and adorable; absolutely enjoyable for everyone. It is short, but effective, and I am sure that many other teachers have examples they could add, perhaps inspiring something like Chicken Soup for the Teachers' Souls. This book really touched me."

Town of Angels

It is angel vs. bully in the town of Mystic Bay, California, where a well kept secret lies. Angels live as humans there. After angels appeared to three children all was blissful in the town full of psychics, and ordinary folk. But as a bully, Klaus Waxman, comes to town, Angel Ken Leighton, a storeowner, must carefully guide his flock of humans not to give to in to the bully’s efforts. As Klaus opens a store mocking the resident angels sightings, Angel Ken guides psychic Justine Greer and her family to thwart his efforts. And with the help of the indomitable oldest psychic in town, Madam Norma, the bully meets his match with soft voices and intuitive minds…

Praise for Town of Angels

As much as this is a story of angels and psychics, it's also a story of small-town life affected by an outsider bully's influence and approach, providing lessons not just of a spiritual nature, but on how to confront bullying and prejudice with a gentler perspective on life.

As faith meets fear, different points of view present dilemmas from a number of angles, engaging readers in more than a cursory examination of clashing belief systems.

The only prerequisite for enjoyment of this story is the ability to read about the presence of angels and their guidance of human affairs.

Those who welcome the thought, appearance, and approaches of angels in everyday life will relish the positive notes, mystery, and problem-solving attitudes of angel and human alike in this gentle story of kindness, hope, belief, and resolving differences.
Midwest Book Review

"This inspirational book proves the power of the human spirit to move on despite incredible tragedy and personal loss . . . The book’s characters are bright and well developed and the stories in Mystic Bay move the reader through this spiritual journey with guidance from angels. The images and fascinating stories behind the Mystic Bay series would certainly be worthy of a screenplay to further bring this saga of spiritual awakening to life."

Praise for When The Angel Sent Butterflies

Dog Billie sees angels all the time. She knows that Angel Ken's purpose is not just to distract with lovely butterflies, but to teach the kids that bees and butterflies alike are their friends, and a positive part of the world around them.

Illustrator Susan Clare Anderson's drawings are simple and inviting. They could have been drawn by a child, but provide colorful embellishments that will interest a young age range.

The story concludes on an upbeat note with an invitation to have kids draw a butterfly and a bee, providing an activity to reinforce the spiritual and nature message of a read-aloud that religious parents will find inviting.
