Sarah Sprinkel Publishes New Children’s Book
Local News Staff 
Former Winter Park commissioner and mayoral candidate Sarah Sprinkel will continue serving the community through the publication of her new book “Mimi and Me.” Sprinkel, a former City Commissioner, released the book in November.
The book explores free-of-cost activities to do with children.
“[Readers] will enjoy some of the ideas of ways to best communicate with children and why,” Sprinkel said. “Songs you can sing together, rhymes you can use, and how easy it is to make up your own scenarios. I used these with my Sunday school class yesterday, and it was a big hit. We played turkey pokey – not hokey pokey – that’s the kind of ideas for people to get.”
In the late 1970s, Sprinkel published a children’s book, “All About Time,” and also authored several pieces placed in education periodicals.
“I wanted a project that would give back and put my ideas in action,” Sprinkel said. “A book was the answer, so I started with how people learn and how the brain works then associated activities for families to do together. They may be as simple as conversation starters or as in-depth as what you can do for the environment around your house.”
“Mimi and Me” is now available on Amazon. Sprinkel stated that although she seeks a wide audience her book is not intended to be a money maker and that she “would love to have just a few smiles, laughs, and fun come from this book.”
“I read one time that when one hears a child laugh, you hear God’s voice, and I agree,” Sprinkel said. “I love to hear a child giggle or laugh – that’s what it’s all about.”
