Sharon Leino

The oldest girl in a family of 11, Sharon Leino always had a great imagination. As a child, she expressed herself through poetry, pouring out her feelings about love, adventure, anger, and being bullied. As a grownup, Sharon’s career as an educator and special education curriculum developer found her writing reports and grants. Her childhood love of writing resurfaced with a vengeance when she retired.

Tame that Flame

Book 3

Have you ever felt really, really mad? It can be tough to figure out what to do when you're super angry, right? Well, guess what? Billy feels the same way. He's got a big ball of anger inside him, and he's not sure how to handle it.

"I highly recommend Scaredy, a YA Fantasy, to anyone with a child who has been afraid of the dark, heights, or bullies at school. The main character is an anxious boy who is forced to deal with his fears when he goes on an unexpected adventure. I asked my ten-year-old grandson to read it to me. He was laughing out loud, literally, but not as loud as my husband. We all loved it! If you know a kid, this book makes a great gift."
