n the world of children’s literature, few stories strike the balance between whimsy and wisdom as gracefully as The Golden Kite by Sandy Jarvis. With a background in psychology and a lifelong passion for storytelling, Jarvis crafts tales that entertain while quietly guiding young readers toward deeper truths. Her latest work is no exception—a charming early reader that explores friendship, honesty, and the courage to make things right. Set in Greenwood School, The Golden Kite follows Benjamin and Lenny, two spirited rivals preparing for an art contest. With help from their friends Stanley and Albert—and a secret kite hidden away—the story unfolds with playful tension and emotional depth. But when Benjamin crosses a line in his quest to win, the narrative takes a thoughtful turn. What begins as a lighthearted competition becomes a lesson in humility, forgiveness, and the importance of making better choices.
