The following posting is featured at catnipoflife as a tribute in memory of Sandra McLeod Humphrey but it also needs to be shared on Awakenings. I feel very honored to have known Sandra even if for only a short period of time.
I encourage you to visit her website Dare to Dream Big! If you did not know Sandra, there would be no better way to celebrate her life than to acquaint yourself with her writing by visiting her blog @ http://www.kidscandoit.com/blog/.
I just learned that one of Sandra's books is #1 in Teen Biographies on Amazon right NOW! I encourage all, whether you knew her or not, to order one of her books as a Christmas gift for a friend, loved one or family member. What a great tribute that would be for Sandra and her husband, Brian!
Here is a brief account of the tragic death of Sandra and Brian, as well as a little insight into her remarkable writing.
“Tragedy has taken the life of award-winning children’s book author Sandra McLeod Humphrey and her husband, Brian Humphrey. Both were killed in a house fire on November 23. The couple’s single-family home in Minnetonka, MN, was in flames at 10:30 p.m. Friday, according to news sources, including the Minneapolis/St. Paul TV network KARE 11. No official cause of the blaze has been released.”
Sandra is best known for her overwhelming desire, knowledge and talent for writing books to build strong character. She has written many award-winning books to help empower young people to believe in themselves and to make good choices. Although her books cover many different subjects and span different age groups, they all have one thing in common: they are written to get young people thinking and talking about important social and moral issues and to help them be the best they can be!
