Hello and welcome to the wonder-full world of Laura Duksta. I'm happy you're here! From the age of 7 or 8, I knew I was meant to travel the world, meet my brothers and sisters and spread the message of love. I'd walk miles around my town singing Love Is In the Air. What I didn't know, was that life would present me with a series of challenges that would prepare me to fulfill on this mission.
I believe we're all born with an innate genius and that a child's natural, creative ability develops best when they know and experience how truly loved they are. My intention, through my books and talks, is to nurture this genius, helping to expand what we believe possible for our children and our selves. For me, the beauty of writing children’s books is that not only do I reach our youth, but also the parents, grandparents, teachers, preachers and great aunties and uncles; my message is meant for everyone! I feel blessed that my books are read at bedtime, shared in classrooms and churches, given as gifts, available in great stores and galleries across the world and MORE!
Here you'll find out what inspired me to become a children's author, as well as information about my two books, the New York Times Bestseller, I Love You More and the just released, You Are a Gift to the World. There's a description of my inspirational talks and school programs, which I present to "3-103 year olds" across the country and world. Along with dates and locations of where I'll be visiting and signing books, as well as highlight pictures and videos from my 5-week nationwide tour and MORE!
Thanks for visiting! Keep Shining!
