‘Kids Talk’ columnist releases book

Maren Schmidt, a regular Tuesday columnist for the Craig Daily Press, has released her book, “Building Cathedrals Not Walls.”

The book uses 90 “Kids Talk” columns from the past six years.



“Readers have asked me if I had a book of ‘Kids Talk’ columns,” Schmidt said. “It wasn’t until this summer that a book theme emerged.

“I hope the essays in this book help parents and teachers understand that we are working on something bigger than ourselves. Much bigger.”

“Building Cathedrals Not Walls” is for sale at Amazon.com and BuildingCathedrals.net.
