Gayle McCain is a fantasy novelist, children’s writer, and author of the acclaimed ‘itty-bitty’ self-help pocket book series, “What If: A Woman, a Pen, and a Life Again” and Kivi and the Lizard People, a children’s book that helps children and their parents through life’s difficulties.
Words With Power
Inspired by film, Gayle began her career as a writer almost twenty-five years ago, with a dream, and a passion for words. That inspiration has now taken shape in a robust collection of fantasy fiction, illustrated children’s books, and self-help publications that reflect McCain’s own metamorphosis – and have led her on a journey far grander and more powerful than she ever imagined.
My writing styles differ as much as what I’m writing. Some of it is full of might, magic, and power. The stories that emerge when I’m full of love and compassion are very different. It’s warm and soft, full of encouragement – showing that I’m feeling connected to the Universe. On those days, I spread love out to everyone I come in contact with – my family, strangers on the street, the people at the grocery store; no one is spared this loving.
Kivi and the Lizard People
The Kivi People were happy, gentle, and kind. They solved problems by talking to each other. But one Kivi decided that he wanted a shiny stone that belonged to his friend. So he took it. Little by little, one Kivi at a time, his meanness spread and over time they changed into mean, unkind people. Years later a little boy was having terrible temper tantrums. His mother learned how to help her son and ended up helping everyone. Little by Little. One Kivi at a time.
Little by little. One Kivi at a time.
Kivi and the Lizard People has been very beneficial in helping my hyperactive grandson get himself under control during a very difficult period in his life. He loved the book and frequently asked me to read
it to him, although he has never been particularly interested in reading before.~ Dr. Kay Wilcox
For nearly twenty years McCain has been helping children and their parents through life’s difficulties, teaching alternative ways to cope with our ever changing world. Kivi and the Lizard People gives parents a simple tool to do just that.
