In this heartfelt episode of Creativity with Purpose, we welcome journalist, award-winning writer, and passionate storyteller Carol Patton.
Carol’s labor of love, The Adventures of Mo, is more than a children’s book series—it’s a bridge between storytelling, global awareness, and compassion. Inspired by her beloved family dog, Mozart, an American Eskimo with a big personality (and an even bigger love of ice cream 🍦), the series invites readers to explore geography, history, and cultures around the world through the curious paws of Mo.
Written as a tribute after Mozart’s passing, The Adventures of Mo reflects Carol’s deep belief that stories can shape kinder, more conscious global citizens—especially when they begin in childhood.
In this conversation, we explore:
How The Adventures of Mo was born from love and loss
Why geography, history, and animals are powerful teaching tools
How storytelling helps children (and adults) become engaged global citizens
Turning a passion project into a meaningful creative legacy
Whether you’re a writer, educator, parent, or someone who believes creativity can change the world, this episode will leave you inspired—and smiling.
✨ Listen, reflect, and rediscover how purpose finds its way into our most personal stories.
