M. Lyman Decided to devote some time to write children's books. She wanted to stress the importance of children starting early to do good deeds. Good deeds are known to be personally rewarding and can be building blocks to being willing to help people in need. M. Lyman also writes other books of interest to the public. One of her favorites is "How Do You Get Happy?" She acquired her natural ability to write books from her mother who was an author too.
