Children’s Book Author and Mother of Six, Demonstrates Unconditional Love In Who Loves the Little Lamb
Ashburn, VA – Lezlie Evans reflects her love of children’s literature, family values and appreciation for different cultures in every book she releases. Whether it is learning phrases in different languages or a family picnic, the nine-time published, award winning children’s book author, and mother of six, portrays the significance of communication in problem solving between parents and their children. Lezlie’s latest title Who Loves the Little Lamb, exemplifies the effects of a mother’s calm reassurance, as she guides her misbehaving little one to better choices.
Who Loves the Little Lamb, published on the Disney/Hyperion label, and illustrated by Award Winning illustrator, David McPhail, has garnered wide spread interest from highly ranked blogs and praise industry review sites. The Children’s Book Guide states:

Lezlie, a winner of the prestigious Gold Oppenheim Award, has created a book not only appropriate for reading every day of the year, but especially timely for the upcoming Mother’s Day.
“I believe mothers will relate to the experiences depicted in the book. I am hopeful that Who Loves the Little Lamb will become a treasured book, and serve as a special reminder of much mother’s love their little ones,” says Lezlie.
Lezlie will serve as Co-Chair of Programs for the Washington D.C. Children’s Book Guild beginning in June. She is also an educational advocate for home based literacy in youth, as a preventative measure for combating texting and electronic trends of upcoming tweens and teens. As electronic and texting issues receive increased amounts of press, Lezlie is scheduling opportunities to share her message with the media on how literacy at home can help encourage imagination and open opportunities for expression in youth. Lezlie is available for interviews and panel discussions per request. Most recently Evans was a guest author at the re-known King’s English Bookshop in Salt Lake City, UT where she was invited to read from her newest book Who Loves the Little Lamb and featured on Virginia’s
