Imagine politics, children helping children and micro-loans being implemented in a sacred, uplifting way! Can this all happen now? Has it actually been happening in an impactful and beautiful way? In Stephen Dinan’s new book SACRED AMERICA-SACRED WORLD and Ms. Thompson’s BE A CHANGEMAKER are they illustrating and showing the way? Is there other areas of “good news” happening that we discussed on the show? What is THE SHIFT NETWORK?

"I write for children and young adults, opening up hearts and minds and engaging both toward understanding and improving our complex world. Sometimes, getting lost in a good book can be just the thing we need to finally find ourselves." - Author Laurie Ann Thompson

Author Laurie Ann Thompson grew up in rural northern Wisconsin. A former software engineer, she now writes for children and young adults to help her readers--and herself--make better sense of the world we live in so they can contribute to making it a better place for all of us. She strives to write non-fiction that gives wings to active imaginations and fiction that taps into our universal human truths.

Laurie’s books include, "Be a Changemaker: How to Start Something That Matters," "Emmanuel’s Dream," a picture book biography about Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, who changed Ghana's perception of people with disabilities; and "My Dog is the Best," an adorable picture book about the unconditional love that exists between a child and a family pet. Laurie is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Visit lauriethompson.com.
