Winner of the 2016 Book Excellence Award • 2016 Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Review • 2017 New England Book Festival Honorable MentionThe Little White Light is about an inspiring, delightful and uplifting relationship that will comfort you just as it comforted Penny. The little white light has a special charm about it when it blinks, as Penny discovers at night, in the morning and even during the day. Sometimes the light is small, sometimes it is big, sometimes the light is square, and sometimes it is rectangular. Penny begins to understand the light is watching over her all the time and that it will be with her forever. Children of all ages and adults, too, will enjoy reading along with the help of the adorable color illustrations. The Little White Light is sure to become a family classic for years to come.“A beautiful story, the mystery of the white light is magical and enchanting and makes readers aware of the existence of a higher power in our lives.” – M. Madhavan for Reader’s Favorite

MJ’s New Friend is a story of acceptance, friendship and finding the courage to do the right thing. When MJ sees a new boy at soccer practice, he notices there is something different about the boy, but instinctively likes and trusts him. As their friendship unfolds, MJ learns there is more to the boy than he realizes. It is up to MJ to “step up to the plate” and become a leader, stand up for his friend, and encourage the other children to look past their apparent differences and find the heart of friendship in diversity.Appropriate for all ages, MJ’s New Friend encourages positive character traits and helps children understand acts of friendship, courage, love, loyalty, strength, perseverance, leadership, and self reliance.The inspiration for this story came from the author’s husband, Sam Lowe, who had an interest in UFOs and people from other planets. It is Judy’s desire that children of all ages open their hearts to those who are a little different. Our beautiful planet Earth will only evolve through love and light.
