Sandra Levins Boeken
Sandra Levins ontdekte een liefde voor de boodschap achter kinderboeken en hun vermogen om een positief verschil te maken in het leven van kinderen en gezinnen. Haar werken duiken in realistische thema's zoals echtscheiding, hertrouwen, eerlijkheid, LGBTQ+-vragen en tienerzwangerschappen. Levins schrijft met de overtuiging dat verhalen positieve veranderingen in het leven van lezers kunnen brengen, en haar vermogen om deze belangrijke boodschappen over te brengen, maakt haar een belangrijke stem in de jeugdliteratuur.
