Greensboro, NC, March 16, 2024 — Barrie Crawford, an elementary school teacher and aspiring non-profit business owner, has completed her new book, “All Things Equal”: a story that reminds children about the importance of others’ feelings. Crawford, who lives in North Carolina with her twin sons, loves to read and write. She is currently working on her second book entitled “Have You Ever?”

“All Things Equal” is an entertaining story for young readers that will introduce them to some new vocabulary and spark their interest with Easter eggs throughout the beautiful, colorful, full-page illustrations.

Published by Page Publishing, Crawford’s heartwarming tale takes readers along with cousins Serena and Tommy on a visit to the zoo. Although they are friends, Serena is upset by the mean things Tommy says sometimes about others’ appearances. As they check out the different exhibits, Tommy teases other children until a beautiful butterfly invites the two to a magic garden.

Inside the garden, they learn a powerful lesson about how appearances aren’t everything and teasing is never okay. The two finally grow to understand the importance of kindness and treating everyone as equals.

Readers who wish to experience this encouraging work can purchase “All Things Equal” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
