Author Website

My very own author website, www.jeanettepatindol.com, is presently under construction. Thanks to my very special friend, Bob Mankivsky, who inspired the idea and offered his professional expertise to help me set it up. I take care of the copy; he takes care of the technicalities and logistics. I have never had a friend support me in my deepest and lifelong Dream this way before, and for this, I am forever touched and grateful.

The website is designed primarily to help parents and teachers who are looking for resources to help them help the children in their care.

The site introduction goes like this--

One of the toughest tasks for any parent or teacher is helping a child cope with a challenging life situation.
When your child asks questions that deal with painful truths, how does one find the words to answer them?


A child’s book can help answer these questions.


Writing kids’ books with important lessons for life is what Philippine-based author, Jeanette C. Patindol, has become known for. Her award-winning children’s books, tackling life-challenges like marital separation, money problems and breast cancer, have also become popular among adult readers, described by readers as: “(the books) minister to both adults and children alike”[1], and “written simply but with a mystical meaning.”[2]

When the author website is up, this blog is intended to complement that site. It will share experiences, ideas and information here on anything and everything related to-- as this blog's blurb says-- "kids, life with kids, books, reading, writing, lessons for life".
