Life is a dance of polarity—sunlit highs and stormy lows, triumphs and setbacks, hope and doubt. When life knocks us down, that next step forward could change everything. 
That’s why we, as parents and caregivers, equip our kids to face what’s ahead. True courage is rising—again and again—no matter how many times the winds knock us down. 
And so, one multitalented media maven is reminding children and adults alike that every season has its purpose—and that we all hold the strength to rise, move forward, and keep going. 
Communications Advisor, Former News Anchor, & Children’s Author, Lynn Smith, joins our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #253 of PR From The Heart’s Children’s Books Spotlight Series to share her inspiring journey from the anchor desk to captivating young minds through KidLit, the release of her new children’s book, Just Keep Going (published by Sourcebooks Kids), the importance of staying true to yourself throughout life, why authenticity and intention are more important now than ever, what rejection and failure can teach us, and strategies and tools for helping children cope with big emotions and stay resilient amidst challenges—plus much more. 
We encourage you, our friends and neighbors, to support Lynn by grabbing your copies of Just Keep Going and enjoying this empowering read with your little ones: https://bit.ly/4npLyQj.
