Ruth Maille is the author of the multi-award-winning books in The Power of... series. Her interactive books focus on character traits that are essential to social and emotional learning. Ruth's passion for writing comes from years of reading children's books and seeing the resulting impact on young lives. She became an author to help children learn to use their imaginations to embark on make-believe adventures that teach them lifelong values that equip and inspire them to be anything they choose. Ruth has owned and operated a daycare/preschool for 32 years and is a certified parent-relationship coach. Daily she is very grateful for the privilege of helping many families using the tools she has acquired in both professions.
