It Takes Patience - Paperback

by Alison Mutton (Illustrator), Idan Ravin (Author)

I published, It Takes Patience, during these challenging times with the hope it inspires children to find their 'voice', adults to rekindle their past and soak in the nostalgia, and families to connect meaningfully. The story is told through the eyes of seven-year-old Patience, multiracial and living in a small town in Appalachia, as she learns resilience, creativity, passion, and self-reliance through her own self-discovery. The book is particularly meaningful as it explores diversity and inclusion; offers a creative outlet for children and emphasizes their empowerment and mindfulness; features a strong intergenerational and matrilineally focused home; and promotes the lesson of self-improvement through struggle, resilience, and passion.
