Because I see Sonflower Girls as a collection of resources, I wanted to include this page as an important part of the site.
These are resources I want to pass your way that I have come across and favored–perhaps even cherished– or referenced or incorporated into Sonflower Girls. While I have found something valuable about each book, I am not endorsing every idea or word. Take what works and encourages you!
I would also invite you to share your resource here for posting, creating a resource share among mothers journeying the same path!
