About this title

About the Author

Mary Rensberry holds an Associates Degree in Biblical Studies from Covington Theological Seminary, a Christian counseling degree, and a Masters of Education degree in Instructional Technology. She has many years of teaching experience in every kind of school setting from public to private to charter school. Mary’s taught in the Regular classroom in the elementary grades, incorporated special education into her classroom and has seen the devastating results of the labeling and drugging of children with pharmaceutical drugs such as Xanax, Adderall, and the like. She has witnessed the foster care youth and the elderly desperately wanting off of these un-scientifically proven drugs but caught in the ‘system’ with little or no voice or representation. Due to these experiences, Mary has a passion for writing and believes that society and our communities at large shouldn’t tolerate this abuse, but seek out healthy alternatives that actually help. Mary is an author, illustrator, teacher, and facilitator addressing social issues of the day with insouciance. Mary’s current book, The Best of Me from A-Z! Traits and Virtues for Kids, came out in Jan 2018 and is being well received. It contains 26 positive traits and virtues with 26 simple one-line positive messages that will help kids be successful and feel good about themselves. There is a suggestion at the end of the book for a Game of Virtues encouraging students, teachers and parents to continue making one-liners of positive messages and then acting them out. The illustrator, Sara Murtas from Italy, has a style all her own; her colorful, highly engaging drawings, much like anime, help inspire kids to be active, thoughtful and mannerly people. Her previous books include I AM SPIRIT, The ABCs of an Ideal Spirit, Christmas Christmas Everyday, Fowl Art, Listen, Wake Looks and It’s Black and White, Navigating the ADHD Controversy, and many more Rhymes for Young Readers co-authored and illustrated with her husband, Richard Rensberry. The things Mary likes to do are going for bike rides in the country, planting a garden & canning veggies and fruits in the summer, dabbling in the arts with watercolors and visiting her family in Texas and California. She is the proud parent of six ISA Brown chickens, one black kitty, whom adopted her and a proud grandparent to three grandchildren.
