"It is not joy that makes us grateful; it's gratitude that makes us joyful." David Steindl-Rast
Apryl Monte is the creator of "The Kids Gratitude Journal Series" which includes four adorbable journals (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn) as well as "Look on the Bright Side: A Book of Positive Quotes and Affirmations for Kids."
Apryl was born, raised, and currently resides in sunny Southern California. She is a mom of three incredible children and grandma to the cutest set of twins ever (she admits to being biased regarding her grandbabies). Apryl is an avid hot yogi who enjoys camping, hiking, and spending time with her family and rescued pup Benji doing all of the above.
Apryl's love of writing and her desire to express gratitude for the people and the world around her led her to create "The Kids Gratitude Journal Series." It is her hope that families will journal together, finding joy, gratitude, and connection.
Apryl's passion for writing continues with her soon-to-be-published children's books "Calvin King's Wish for No Water" and "Suzie's Trophy Collection," both of which have their main characters "Calvin and Suzie," learning a valuable life lesson.
