Kathryn the Grape Songbooks
Kathryn the Grape Songbooks are learning tools for children. Since speech and language processing happens in different hemispheres of the brain, when a child sings along to a song while seeing the words they are singing, they activate both areas simultaneously. This dual activation assists with comprehension, memory retention, sight word recognition, phonemic awareness, and overall cognitive development. Kathryn the Grape Songbooks support diverse learning styles and abilities with entertaining and educational songs, illustrated books, and engaging videos.
Father Joe - A Humble Hero
This book was inspired by Father Joe Carroll's example of goodness. Father Joe (1941-2021) helped millions of unhoused neighbors in need have access to meals, housing, education, job training, medical care, and more. Author Kathryn Cloward created the six golden seeds concept from life lessons she gained from Father Joe during her over 150 hours of recorded conversations with him while gathering information for writing his memoir, Father Joe: Life Stories of a Hustler Priest. "Father Joe's Six Golden Seeds" shares the true story of how her signature purple outfit came from the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in downtown San Diego, California when Kathryn's mom worked alongside Father Joe in the early years of his work with unhoused neighbors in need.
