    I was born in Maryland, the 6th of 9 (that's right, 9) kids. I had 6 brothers who loved to tease and 2 sisters who paved the way with good old mom and dad for us girls. But, I vowed to be different than the bunch. From my dad's nickname for me, Jujubee, to my love of the arts...I tried to stand out (as much as a short girl can do).

    In 1994, I left my parents and 3 remaining siblings at home to attend Brigham Young University and to study illustration. In a family filled with doctors, lawyers, electrical engineers, teachers and statisticians...I was the odd man out. But I didn't care and neither did my family. They were brimming with support and encouragement. Even now they are some of my biggest fans (besides my wonderful husband).

    In April 1998, I graduated from Brigham Young University with a BFA in Illustration and have been freelancing ever since. I'm enjoying it throughly and am glad to be realizing my dream of becoming a freelance illustrator. But I must admit to you my other passion...my kids. As crazy as it gets with 4 kids running around the studio, the kitchen, the yard, the grocery store (or wherever I happen to be), I love being a mom and love to share my life of art with them.

    Now I am writing books as well as illustrating them. I couldn't ask for more. Share my love of books with me...check them out on Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to teach kindness to children
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2016
How do you teach kidness to young children? Or in my case how do I teach my twins to be kind to each other noting the competition that usually happens between twin children?

Honestly, I turn to storybooks most of the time. I have toddlers, who are turning three years old in two months, who love their books and spend a good amount of their time "reading" (pretend reading actually). I chose books which are fun, insightful, and value-laden coupled with colorful pictures and illustrations which almost always catch and retain their attention.

I picked The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party because I have twin children - - a boy and or a girl -- who love and hate each other in one same breath. I was told earlier on this would happen to boy-girl twins but the competition is fiercer among same-sex twins whether identical or fraternal. So I was interested how the author would present The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party with twin princesses as main characters.

Written by Mona Hodgson with illustrations by Julie Olson, this book shows twins Abby and Emma as happy and kind girls who are not spoiled even when they are princesses living a privileges life in their castle. For their birthday party, the princess twins invited their friends but were surprised when Beth, one of their friends, left without telling the twins.

The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party is a beginning reader's book that imparts the value of kindness and compassion for friends.

This storybook is Level 1 of the I Can Read book series, which means that the story has simpler and shorter sentences for eager new readers. The plot is direct and uncomplicated with a clear setting. It won't be difficult to work on a literature-based lesson plan using this as the story/text selection because of its brevity and simplicity.

Every child learn to read in different ways at varying speed. Having this book in the I Can Read series is a welcomed addition to our home library's growing list of children's books namely Berenstain Bears and Frog and Toad. I got a hardcover copy of this book, which, if you ask me, is a preferred book form for younger readers.

As a kid, I believed that I had a twin sister and we were princesses of a faraway kingdom except that for some unfortunate reason, I was displaced from the kingdom and was separated from my parents and my twin sister. That is why, on a more personal note, I adore this book.

This should be one of those book you'd like to place on your children's learning corner and can be a good resource when you're teaching or sharing examples of good moral values.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story and message!
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2016
It doesn't get more perfect for a little girl than a book about princesses and birthdays. My girls love anything princess- the dresses, the crowns and they love birthday parties. Therefore, I jumped at the chance to receive and review The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party the newest in the series by Mona Hodgson.
Abby and Emma are twin sisters and princesses. The book follows their birthday as they wake up, get ready in their princess finery, enjoy a breakfast with their parents, and then have friends over for a party. The King tells the girls how thankful he is that not only are his girls beautiful on the outside but also on the inside because they are kind and loving to others. During then party when one of the guests feels left out because her dress is too plain, the reader gets to see this kindness in action as Emma then proceeds to share her crown with her friend.

Based on Ephesians 4:32, this story shows little girls how to actively be kind and compassionate to one another. I also loved how showing while birthdays are a fun event- it does not have to be a selfish endeavor. Birthday parties can still be an opportunity to show kindness to others even though the day celebrates you. The beautiful illustrations and easy level 1 reader make this book perfect for little girls ages 5-8.

*I received a free copy of the book in exchange for my unbiased review.

1.0 out of 5 stars princess and God?

this book has religious content and I didn't realize it at the time of purchase. It was purchased for a grand daughter who is not raised in a religious home and it has sparked some questions from her. The answers are not easy and a person's spiritual beliefs are very personal. I am surprised that princess and God are in the same context.
