Author Chris Parsons is leading the charge to help educators and parents with interactive tools that spark kindness, friendship and giving in his debut children’s book. Helping drive home the concept of finding good in the world, A LITTLE SPARK offers a read-along with a musical soundtrack, audiobook and corresponding lessons highlighted in each chapter. A first grade teacher in Dallas, Nicole Ramirez said: “I personally loved the lessons learned in the story- especially that even the smallest creature can make the biggest difference. That is especially important for children to hear because they so badly want to be seen and heard."
A Little Spark is more than a book. We all can be that Spark by helping those who need a hand up, a break, a chance – someday you may need your own Spark. The book teaches us a number of important lessons with respect to how we treat those around us. We must always strive to “Be That Spark”.
In today’s episode, Chris shares his journey writing “A Little Spark.” After a career in technology, three years ago he made the decision to take a different direction and become a children’s author and create music for kids. Christ began writing children’s books when his kids were growing up, and it was something he really enjoyed. It was an opportunity for him to create a story with a strong message. He kept creating and expanding the stories, until one day he was on a plane where an idea came to him about a small mouse named Spark who was given an opportunity, and he saved the day. Chris was really inspired by this story, and he made a vow that every time he traveled by plane he would work on the story, now known as “A Little Spark” published in October 2020. Chris knew this was his passion, and through this journey he’s found his spark. As he shares, we can all be that spark in someone else’s life.
