Go Light Your World

<p>Author Kimberly Stringer has been following Christian singer Kathy Troccoli since the 1980s. She has attended Troccoli's concerts, conferences, and cruises. While attending one of the early events with the popular singer, Kimberly's twin sister Kara, a speech and language therapist, volunteered to do the sign language for the song, Go Light Your World. That began a personal relationship between the women, the singer, and her staff. As the owner of Kreative Kids Academy in Wichita, Kimberly had always wanted to do a children's book based on the inspiring lyrics to Go Light Your World. After obtaining permission from Troccoli, Kimberly wrote her own "lyrics" aimed at the children in her classrooms. They had already been schooled in the academy's motto, "Never hurt anyone on the inside or the outside." They will already be familiar with the message of this latest children's book by Stringer, beautifully illustrated by Debbie Fleck. In November of 2021, as Kimberly and her husband attended another Kathy Troccoli event in Destin, Florida, the down-to-earth singer and her crew sang Go Light Your World to the Kreative Kids students on FaceTime. They were thrilled and excited. Just like all young readers will be with this book. It should make them eager to carry their own marvelous lights out into a world that longs for kindness and love.</p>
