Hello, my dear readers! I'm Mary Brodsky, and I'm thrilled to share my passion for writing with you. As a grandmother, my heart swells with joy every time I see a young parent reading one of my books to their child. I've always believed that the power of storytelling can shape the way we see the world, and I hope to impart a bit of that magic to every reader who comes across my work.
My goal is to remind parents of the sweetness of life, and the importance of instilling good morals and sensitivity to others in their children. In our fast-paced society, it's easy to lose sight of the simple pleasures in life. But by sharing my stories, I hope to encourage a return to a kinder, more compassionate way of living.
As for my writing process, I must admit that my mind is a bit of a crowded place. Every situation in my life starts a storyline in my mind, and sometimes it gets so crowded up there that I wish for a good knock on the head just for some peace and quiet! (I'm only half-joking, of course.) That's one of the reasons why I love writing so much. When I start putting all those thoughts down on paper, I create a bit of space in my head to breathe and think.
One thing that's especially important to me is the diversity in my books. As someone who has traveled extensively and met people from all walks of life, I know how beautiful and varied our world truly is. It's crucial that children see and celebrate this diversity from a young age, and my books featuring characters from different nationalities and backgrounds aim to do just that. I want little ones to understand that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities.
Now, I must confess that I'm a bit of an organized artist. My right and left brain seem to be equally powerful, which means I need to keep things structured in order to let my creativity flow. So, while I don't have any particular rituals when starting a book, I do begin the same way for each one - by setting up an organized foundation that allows me to focus on the creative side without worrying about the business of writing.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me and my work. It brings me immense joy to know that my stories are out in the world, spreading a message of kindness, diversity, and sweetness.

Ms. Tomlinson is a renowned and widely collected artist who moonlights as a magical explorer. With her head in the clouds and her heart in children's books, she has been painting in her Texas hometown since childhood. She loves to capture the fanciful and beautiful, aiming to prove to everyone that magic is real. Her artistic repertoire includes murals, portraits, and anything shiny that catches her fancy.
Jeni's work has been collected by businesses and can be found in homes across the United States and internationally. Her collection can be viewed on her website at www.jenitomlinsonstudios.com.
Her art is also featured in Mary Brodsky's delightful books about fairies, which are available online and in a secret hidden forest called Harmony Grove.
One of my main reasons for these stories is to try to mentor young parents. I believe our society is slowly losing its grip on the kinder side of life. So if I can help remind even one heart to hold on to the *sweetness* of life, then I will have accomplished my goal.
I'm passionate about inspiring young readers and promoting positive values through my books. With a focus on morals and manners, my stories are both fun and educational, reminding kids about the importance of treating each other with love and kindness in a sometimes tough world. My ultimate goal is to brighten their day and help them see the power of compassion and empathy.
