She uses humor to let kids know that they can laugh at themselves and what they are struggling with won’t last forever. While it is easy to tell that some of the books are from past decades, they are still enjoyable and topics can still be understood. The life lessons these characters learn can help kids not feel lost and help them see ways to deal with problems.
