New Book—Now Launched!

Avedis means “one who brings good news,” and when young Avedis stumbles upon a small box filled with radiant light, he wants nothing more than to share his discovery with everyone! But along the way, he learns what it truly means to be a light to others.

 
Enchanting! Both children and adults will be enthralled with this story! It can spark so many conversations—with young and old alike—about life, what matters, what is beautiful, and the power of connection and community!

Avedis reminds its reader that kindness can be both simple and powerful in the way that it impacts those we interact with on a daily basis. It’s a reminder of the light and joy we all have the privilege of sharing each and every day!
