SANTA ANA, Calif. - s4story -- Children's book author and noted clinical psychologist Amy L. Stark, Ph.D. is announcing her newest title You are More Than: A Primer for Finding Light in Your Heart. The illustrated story, written for children ages 5-12, explains with clear examples you are more than what you see on the outside. In a broader context, Dr. Stark writes about the connection to each other, our planet and finding purpose in taking care of the planet and being of service.

"It's a book of hope for children," said Dr. Stark. "Giving hope to kids so they know they can reach out to others for help and be of service when someone around them needs help. It's an exploration into this life-affirming connection that gives a person purpose."
