A Star Named Sky and Flynn the Firefly
A Star Named Sky and Flynn the Firefly is a tender and uplifting tale that will leave both children and parents smiling. The story introduces Flynn, a little firefly who senses something is terribly wrong; his glow has vanished. Overcome with sadness, he begins to cry, but hope arrives in the form of Sky, a compassionate star who drifts down from above. Through a playful game filled with affirmations and encouragement, Sky gently reminds Flynn of his worth. With every uplifting word, Flynn’s light begins to shine again, and Sky leaves him with a lasting truth: never forget who you are.
Author Vincent Watson has crafted a beautifully inspiring narrative that speaks directly to young readers. The message is clear yet profound: every child is special, and recognizing their own value allows them to help others feel special too. The game Sky teaches Flynn becomes more than a moment in the story; it is an empowering tool for children learning self-love and self-expression. The simple yet powerful phrase, “I love me,” carries weight, especially for little ones navigating complex emotions.
The illustrations add another layer of magic, vibrant and full of life, almost as if the pages themselves were animated. A particularly delightful detail is the chorus of frogs in the background, cheering on Sky and Flynn with infectious joy. By the end, the bond between star and firefly has blossomed into a nightly ritual of encouragement, love, and friendship, a reminder that shining together makes the light even brighter.
Heartwarming, visually charming, and deeply affirming, this story is more than just a bedtime read, it is a gentle guide to embracing purpose, resilience, and self-love.

Dog is Dog
Vincent A. Watson’s Dog is Dog is a charming poetic reflection on self-acceptance, framed through the eyes of a lovable, unapologetically authentic dog. The poem emphasizes how the dog never tries to be anything it’s not, such as a cat, a lion, or a bird. The author’s clear and simple language makes this work accessible to readers of all ages, but its deeper message about embracing who you are and not comparing yourself to others strikes a chord that resonates universally.
The writing is playful and rhythmic, which brings a lighthearted yet profound quality to the poem. I loved how Watson used humor and whimsy to convey his message. For instance, one of my favorite lines goes, “Dog is dog and never tries to be a cow / Dogs don’t go ‘moooooo’ they don’t know how.” The silliness of imagining a dog mooing makes the poem delightful for young readers while driving home the point that dogs—and people—shouldn’t pretend to be something they’re not. The simplicity of the language adds to the charm, making it easy to read aloud and fun to share.
One of the most striking aspects of the poem is its repetition, which reinforces the central idea: being true to yourself. Each stanza follows a similar structure, starting with “Dog is dog and never tries to be” and then humorously pointing out the absurdity of a dog attempting to act like another creature. This consistent pattern gives the poem a musical quality and makes the message memorable. I found it comforting, like a gentle reminder, especially for young readers who benefit from such repetition to fully grasp important lessons.
Watson’s heartfelt dedication to his children and “all the kids around the world” adds a layer of sincerity to the work. There’s an undeniable warmth to his words as if the author is directly speaking to children, encouraging them to embrace their individuality. The closing lines—“Dogs are happy being dogs, so be happy being yourself too!”—encapsulate the book’s theme beautifully. This message made me smile, and it reminded me of the universal struggle we all face to feel confident in our own skin, no matter our age.
Dog is Dog is a delightful and uplifting read that would be perfect for young children, teachers looking for engaging classroom material, or even adults who appreciate a gentle nudge toward self-acceptance. If you’re searching for a book that delivers an essential message wrapped in humor and joy, I’d highly recommend giving this one a read. Watson’s simple yet powerful words remind us all that there’s only one you—and that’s more than enough.

Lead With Love Instead of Leading With Fear
21 Years…A Collection of Poems on Leadership offers a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nuances of leadership through engaging poetry. What is a common misconception you feel people have about leadership?
I feel the common misconception people have about leadership is that the leader is all knowing and ready to actually be a leader. When I first became a leader and responsible for the lives of other people, I didn’t know much about anything. People need to understand that it’s all the situations and challenges leaders face that shape a leader. Even the most seasoned and tenured leader doesn’t know everything. In all honesty the key to leadership is not knowing everything, it’s really a matter of understanding and knowing your people. As individuals we know ourselves very well. We know ourselves so well that we think that our leaders know us just as well. Because of this misconception, we judge leaders on how we would lead instead of giving leaders the freedom to learn and develop into their leadership role.
What poem in this collection stands out to you personally?
The poem that stands out to me personally is “Two Types of Leaders”. This poem stands out because I wrote it in about 20 minutes with very little edits. This poem just seemed to flow from my pen onto the paper. In addition, I truly believe that love will conquer all and that the leader that leads in love will positively impact the leadership environment. I love people and I lead with my heart on my sleeve. I know many people may feel it’s a weak form of leadership, but I must say that it has not failed me yet. I pray that all leaders learn to lead with love instead of leading with fear.
Do you have plans to write and publish more works of poetry?
Yes, I have plans of publishing more works of poetry. I’m currently working on my second book, it’s a poetry book on success. I hope to have it finished by April. In addition, I’m working on a second leadership book. This book will contain more advanced concepts in leadership. Finally, I hope to finish out the year with a poetry book on dating and relationships.
