Kristina Coia is a remarkable teenager. Watch this video to learn more about her. Then, listen to Book Bites for Kids, LIVE on blogtalkradio.com on Tuesday, February 26th, when Kristina will be the guest author to talk about her two books for teens.
Every afternoon on Book Bites for Kids, I talk with a published children’s author and/or illustrator. I find that every author has a life story that is just as interesting as any of the books he/she might write. And, as a children’s author myself, I’m always anxious to learn how other writers work - to find out what a typical writing day is like to them.
Guest authors come from around the world. We’ve had authors call in from Lake Como, Italy, the Isle of Jersey (off the coast of France), the Virgin Islands, as well as various cities across the United States and Canada.

However, for some reason known only to the gods of technology, every time Carla tried to call in to the show she got a busy signal so she was never able to get on air.
But even though I wasn’t able to talk with Carla on the live show, we were able to talk by phone and turn that conversation into a podcast.
This looks like a video (again, those gods, or maybe they’re demons, of technology have been at work again), but actually it’s an audio clip. Click below to listen.

* Summary:All Children Have Different Eyes is a beautifully illustrated story empowering children who have visual impairment to take on the social challenges of daily life, such as how to deal with teasers and bullies, explain their condition confidently, enter play groups, and handle mistakes responsibly. Back-of-the-book activities reinforce these skills every day. It’s also a book for everyone teaching kids with normal sight that differences in how we see are not so scary or strange. With this awareness, they can become better friends and classmates with kids like Tommy and Wendy, our stars.
* Free Teacher Guide Download integrates standards, such as art, health, reading, writing, and P.E. with the important lessons of the book so children with normal vision will learn how to be better friends and playmates with vision-impaired children instead of intolerant bullies.
* More Benefits:
Activities in the back of the book help parents and teachers understand the social issues that affect children who have visual impairment while giving them tools to develop social competence in their child every day.
It comes with high praise from parents, teachers, doctors, kids, and others.
