de-escalation. russia now appearing to pull some troops back from the border. the russian foreign minister says diplomacy will continue. >> russian president vladimir putin is meeting with the german chancellor this morning. we are covering all the angles of this crisis from washington to moscow. terry moran starts us off in ukraine. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, michael. people in this city like in others across ukraine are continuing their civil defense preparations in case of a russian invasion but as you say world leaders around the world are trying to figure out and decipher those mixed messages from moscow. on the one hand, those signs of a possible military de-escalation on ukraine's borders. on the other, a move to annex parts of ukraine in moscow. this morning, that dramatic announcement from the kremlin, some russian forces are pulling back from ukraine's border heading back to their bases. russian media today showing tanks loading up on transports. this after vladimir putin in a carefully choreographed appearance with his foreign minister said diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis should

continue. but with as many as 150,000 russian ground forces still near the ukrainian border tensions here remain high. the russian military continues conducting massive drills across the border surrounding ukraine. including these aerial drills conducted over belarus just north of ukraine. the pentagon warning that over the last several days putin has actually added to his military capabilities along the border. >> he continues to advance his readiness should he choose to go down a military path here. should he choose to invade again, he is doing all the things you would expect him to do to make sure he's ready for that option. >> reporter: citing the russian threat here, the u.s. has closed its embassy in kyiv and removed remaining personnel to the western ukraine city. staff destroying classified material and equipment. today u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin travels to the

region to meet with his nato counterparts and reaffirm u.s. support. while russia accuses the u.s. of hysteria. u.s. embassy personnel have relocated to this city as have other embassies from other countries. we spoke with the mayor here this morning, he said he is ready for anything including a flood of ukrainian refugees if there is war. he said they are our family. george? >> terry moran, thanks. let's get more now from the white house and the kremlin. foreign correspondent james longman is in moscow. james, it appears that the messages out of moscow this morning are somewhat confusing. >> reporter: that's right, george. potentially very serious development this morning, because while there are perhaps signs of de-escalation down on the border, the russian parliament in moscow has just voted to appeal to putin to recognize the independence of russian-controlled republics in ukraine. this was a move widely seen to be laying the groundwork for war. it'll be met with outrage in ukraine and certainly doesn't give the impression that things

are calming down. diplomacy though does continue here this morning. germany's chancellor is here for talks with vladimir putin. he will surely be looking for some answers about that vote and trying to work out what the russian president intends to do. at the same time, though, moscow is already claiming a victory over what is repeatedly called western hysteria. a statement said, february 15, 2022, will go down in history as the day western war propaganda failed. they have been disgraced and destroyed without a single shot being fired. that vote sure has made things a little more tense. george? >> james longman, thank you. cecilia vega, caution at the white house this morning. >> reporter: caution is exactly right, george. from a threat perspective, officials are telling me nothing has changed. they are still engaged in diplomacy. they say the door to that is open. but i am hearing that the administration still very much believes we are in this window for a possible invasion at any time. we are talking about at any day. look, the white house still believes that putin has not made

up his mind whether or not to invade and they are particularly concerned here about what we've been calling this false flag operation where russia could essentially lie about an attack to justify an invasion. and, george, we're also learning that behind the scenes the white house has been working on these drills. they call it tiger team. we're talking about exercises that have included cabinet members, extensive planning going through scenarios of how they would respond if an invasion does happen. and, george, you know this, president biden has been promising swift and decisive action. he says potentially sanctions like russia has never before seen including, george, possibly targeting putin himself. >> all justified if this happens. would be the most serious incursion in europe since world war ii. cecilia vega, thanks very much. robin? now to the doping scandal rocking the olympics. the 15-year-old russian figure skater taking the ice this morning, but facing fierce backlash after she was cleared to compete despite testing positive for a banned substance before the games. maggie rulli is there in beijing with more. good morning, maggie.

>> reporter: hey, robin, good morning. you know, it's hard to overstate the significance of what is happening here right now. it's being called the biggest scandal to ever hit the world of figure skating. this morning, 15-year-old russian figure skater kamila valiyeva returning to the ice, stumbling her triple axel, coming in first place of the first leg of the women's figure skating competition. despite testing positive for an illegal performance-enhancing substance before the games. now the ioc says valiyeva claims there was a mix-up with her grandfather's heart medication. >> i was in this hearing and i don't know, if her argument was this company nation which happened with a product, her grandfather was taking. he presented elements which brought some doubts about guilt. >> reporter: international court deciding she can still compete while they investigate further.

in response, the ioc saying if valiyeva lands in the top three, there will be no medals handed out until the investigation is complete. in an interview with russian tv channel 1, valiyeva was emotional saying these days have been very difficult, but she's happy she can perform. many sports critics and athletes are concerned valiyeva is just the latest example of blatant disregard for clean sport by russia including adam rippon who won bronze in 2018 and is here at these games coaching american mariah bell who's competing against valiyeva in the women's individual event. is it overshadowing these games do you think? >> totally. this is completely unprecedented that there is an athlete in the competition who's tested positive. it's completely against the moral code of being an olympian. this ruling has failed the athletes so miserably. >> reporter: sha'carri richardson, the u.s. sprinter and gold medal favorite who tested positive for marijuana and was suspended ahead of last year's summer games calling out the double standard. >> the difference is the two countries.

if the u.s. anti-doping agency had the valiyeva case, if she was an american, the moment that positive test would have come out, they would have told her, you're going home. >> reporter: and, guys, experts we talk to here say this investigation could go on for months meaning there may be no medal ceremony any time soon. robin? >> truly is overshadowing the games. maggie, thank you. george? now to a major development in the investigation of president trump's business for possible fraud. the trump organization's longtime accounting firm has cut its ties with the company declaring key financial documents are not reliable. chief washington correspondent jonathan karl has the story. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. it's a move that may have big implications for multiple investigations into trump's business practices. his longtime accounting firm says it can no longer stand behind financial statements it has prepared for the trump organization over the past decade. former president donald trump's

accounting firm has cut ties with its highest profile client as he faces civil and criminal investigations into his family business. in the past, trump has described his accountants as the best around. >> i spend millions of dollars a year for lawyers and for accountants to do my taxes. >> reporter: in a letter filed in court by the new york attorney general, mazars usa said a decade of financial statements compiled with information provided by the trump organization, quote, should no longer be relied upon. trump used those statements to secure loans and to sell his business success as he ran for president. >> i was a business guy. i was successful. i was very successful. >> reporter: new york attorney general letitia james is trying to force trump and his eldest children to testify under oath as part of her investigation into whether he illegally inflated the value of his assets and sought to avoid paying taxes. the trump family dismisses the investigation has politically motivated. >> new york prosecutors come after us every single day on these political witch hunts trying to find anything they possibly can and that's all this

is. >> reporter: in a statement the trump organization downplayed mazars' decision. meanwhile, george, a state judge will hear arguments later this week about whether trump could be forced or should be forced to testify on this matter. george? >> jon karl, thanks. michael? now to outrage over that murder in manhattan. surveillance video showing the alleged attacker followed 35-year-old christina lee into her apartment before police say he killed her. the suspect officially charged overnight and our erielle reshef has the latest. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. the suspect now facing multiple charges as you mentioned. police say that he followed christina yuna lee into her apartment on the sixth floor of this apartment building, before brutally stabbing her to death. that crime unconscionable leaving her family heartbroken and an entire community reeling. this morning, a community gripped with grief after the

brutal murder of 35-year-old creative producer christina yuna lee. her alleged killer appearing in court late monday. authorities say these security camera images now part of their investigation capture the suspect, 25-year-old assamad nash, following lee into her manhattan building early sunday morning, grabbing a knife from her kitchen before fatally stabbing her multiple times in her apartment. >> male coming down the fire escape. be on the lookout for a weapon. >> reporter: nash trying to flee from the fire escape taken into custody after a brief standoff with police. officials say he is homeless, out on supervised release on three open cases including one where he allegedly punched a stranger on the subway. he also has an extensive criminal history in new jersey. nash now facing murder, burglary and sexually motivated burglary charges. so far he has not been charged with a hate crime. >> christina's murder is not considered a hate crime but that

does not diminish the fear, the real fear that we as asians, as asian women especially, are feeling. >> reporter: lee's employer splice tweeting our hearts are broken. always dedicated to making beautiful and inclusive work, christina is irreplaceable. her haunting murder coming amid a disturbing spate of crime in new york city. just last month 40-year-old michelle go was randomly pushed to her death. according to the major city chiefs association, homicides in the united states increased by more than 36% in the last two years. but experts stress there is no national data suggesting that those experiencing homelessness commit more acts of violence than the general population. and back here in new york the mayor calling this crime the definition of horrific saying this type of violence will not go unchecked. prosecutors now looking into whether or not this suspect targeted lee or committed this crime based on racial motivation. they say so far there is no evidence of racial bias here. michael?

>> definitely horrific. thank you so much, erielle. robin? now to that guilty plea from a u.s. naval engineer accused of trying to sell information about nuclear-powered submarines to a foreign government. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is there in washington with more for us. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: robin, good morning. that stunning case of the suburban couple next door accused of spying is taking a dramatic turn with the husband admitting to espionage and claiming his wife was in on the plot. this morning, a nuclear engineer who worked for the u.s. navy is admitting to spying against his own country and implicating his own wife as a partner in an espionage plot targeting some of the most sensitive submarines. jonathan toebbe telling a federal judge monday that i conspired with diana toebbe, his wife, to transmit restricted data to a foreign nation in exchange for payment with the intent to injure the united states. >> he has told the government his wife's involvement in the case.

now, that can cut two ways. one is that he is doing it so she potentially could get a lesser sentence or that could also work against you because it really depends on how culpable she was. >> reporter: toebbe and his wife, a former schoolteacher, allegedly receiving $100,000 for classified information about the virginia class of nuclear submarines which use sophisticated stealth technology. the alleged plot involved secret drop-off locations with toebbe and his wife allegedly hiding the classified information in a variety of ways, including in a peanut butter sandwich and a chewing gum package. were always spicious.ws they e'd have, you knowhoday driveways having bonfires and they never came out, never joined in. >> reporter: the fbi discovered the alleged plot and set up a sting after toebbe sent a package of materials to an unidentified foreign country with instructions for how to establish a covert relationship to purchase restricted information.

this morning, it's unclear how toebbe's plea affects his wife who has pled not guilty. her attorneys had initially suggested that the fbi had limited evidence pointing to her having direct knowledge of the scheme. guys? >> we'll see what happens with her. all right, pierre, thank you. michael? now to the traditional visit to disney for the super bowl champs. the los angeles rams quarterback matthew stafford, game's mvp cooper kupp and aaron donald all paraded down main street on a float the day after winning the super bowl. the champs also got to hop on some rides. got to get on some rides at disney. we're going to hear from them on their hollywood ending coming up in our next hour. wea lot elebration right there. a" this rnin includi tennis star novak djokovic, what he's saying about his future on the court and the covid vaccine. concern for queen elizabeth growing this morning after camilla tests positive for covid days after prince charles. but first, good morning,

i think if that happens, then it will go a long way to relieving concerns. >> reporter: having just commemorated the 70th anniversary of her ascension to 2 throne, a british record, the queen earlier this month announced she hoped camilla would be known as queen consort when charles becomes king. a spokesperson said camilla is fully vaccinated and boosted and she and charles were both following government guidelines, which for now means isolation, though camilla attended three public events on the day charles tested positive last week. >> it's very concerning when you have senior members of the royal family who are coming down with covid having to cancel engagements which they haven't told us whether or not the queen has tested positive for negative and we don't have any indication that they're definitely going to do so if she tests positive. so they are saying very much that they believe that she's entitled to medical privacy. she is a very elderly lady and is head of state. >> reporter: prior to this

ahold of your wireless password often through data breaches and phishing scams and then contact your mobile carrier tricking them into switching your number to a new sim card and a device that is in the criminal's possession, robin. >> so how can people protect themselves? >> the fbi recommends not to provide your account information over the phone unless you're the oe who has called your carrier. always call your carrier and verify that it is customer service on the other end of the line. use strong multi-factor authentication. like biometrics. don't store passwords, user names or other information for easy login on mobile applications. if you think you're a victim contact your mobile carrier immediately. change your passwords, contact your bank and report the activity to the fbi's internet crime complaint center. that is at www.ic3.gov, robin. >> always so helpful with information you provide, rebecca. thank you. a lot more coming up here on "gma," including sticker surprises at the grocery store. how you can spot when companies

be trickier as economist steve reed explained to us when we started tracking it back in june. >> the conventional wisdom is an explicit price increase might be noticed by consumers and they might react negatively to it, but a small decrease in size may not be observable. >> reporter: take these doritos. a smart shopper alerted an expert this 9.75-ounce manager of doritos that was $2.50 became half an ounce smaller, 9.25 ounces and now retails for $3, a 24% increase in the cost of chips per ounce. annie doubling down on oreo research to uncover that company's pricing strategy. >> they do raise prices. they have to raise prices, but they also come out with limited edition flavors which is an excuse to charge a little bit more for, you know, the same amount of cookies or fewer cookies.

>> reporter: she found double stuffed oreos cost $3.69 for 30 cookies but its new birthday chocolate cake oreos were $3.79 for just 24 cookies, more than a 30% increase per cookie cost that is passed on to the consumer. she says the maker of oreos told her that retailers set the final prices, not them, and that the limited edition oreos come in different size packages than the regular flavors. you can see for yourself. i purchased both of these for the same price yesterday and they are a different size. i should also mention that we reached out to frito-lay and haven't heard back from them. bottom line, the cost to make, transport and market goods has ss the board. someomnies bn costs. others have reasons for changing sizes instead of prices. george, it all means we have to be more savvy shoppers. >> well, that's what i was going to ask you.

how should shoppers navigate this? >> reporter: the only real way to manage these increases is to pay attention to the cost per ounce of products or the price per unit for paper goods, paper towels and more. it's a huge pain, but i just want to let you and all of america know that in the case of doritos and oreos, i am here for you, i'm monitoring them on a weekly and some cases monthly basis. >> thank you, becky. >> you can always count on becky worley. now to the super bowl champs, the l.a. rams, and there's only one place to go after you win the big game -- disney. kaylee hartung caught up with several of the star players in disney in their own backyard. good morning again, kaylee. >> reporter: hey, robin. no surprise, these guys had barely slept, aaron donald admitted he hadn't slept at all. l.a.'s newest heroes carried on the 35-year-old tradition of celebrating a super bowl win at the happiest place on earth, keeping the party going. >> congratulations to the l.a. rams.

>> your accurate weather forecast is bright today, breezy and temperatures close to abbott for this time of year. upper for these two lower 60's later on today. overnight tonight, it is a moonlit sky. we have plenty of stars out there. it is windy and chilly. temperatures in the 30's and 40's as a pet into as they my next seven days for you, it is all about those temperatures. as we celebrate black history month, this morning, we are tackling college debt and why black women carry the most debt of any racial group. we're going to talk to an expert about mapping out a plan for higher education in just a moment but first take a look. for many college students, taking out loans is the only way to afford a higher education, but a recent study reveals black students carry more college debt their than white peers, on

average $25,000 more with black women in particular carrying the most debt. >> i'm not getting sleep because i'm worried about my bills. i'm worried about loan payments. i'm worried about my credit. >> reporter: dr. shamell bell, a harvard professor and single mother is hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. >> we were sold a lie with the educational system. i went all the way to the top and i still feel like i failed. >> reporter: the first generation college grad had scholarships but needed loans to help her make it through school. >> we need to make sure our basic needs are met. >> reporter: while she's proud of her accomplishments, her debt looms over her. >> i did everything that society wanted me to do and i'm still feeling like i'm not enough. >> while we have decreased the gap in those obtaining college

degrees, the wealth gap continues to increase. >> reporter: dr. ivory toldson says bell isn't alone. >> before we had the civil rights laws, black people did not have the type of income, could not own the same types of property as other races and that trickled right into a child's ability to pay for higher education. so that child has to come out and take out more loans and so the cycle just continues. >> reporter: some are waiting on president biden to deliver a campaign promise to reduce student debt and others are calling for it to be canceled completely. >> there are other things, one of them is increasing the pell grant. also, higher education should be low to no cost for the majority of low income borrowers. >> reporter: but for now dr. bell is hoping to change the future for her son. >> i want to make sure that his foundation is set so that if he wants to go to college he doesn't have to worry about his basic needs. joining us now is jessica

brown, author of "how to pay for college when you're broke." jessica, good morning to you. we'll get right into it. we were figuring out a plan to tackle college debt. it starts before you even set foot on a college campus. for those who are applying to college right now, what is your advice? >> since financial aid is first come, first serve it is critical to your financial freedom post graduation to complete the free application for federal student aid also known as the fafsa. this application opens annually on october 1st, must be completed to secure financial aid and you may complete it by visiting their site. make sure you're able to afford your dream school. if an institution costs $40,000 a year times four years for a bachelor program, that equals over $160,000. therefore it is important to ceate a financial blueprint that will allow to you see how much they can personally provide

you for your college education to ensure that it doesn't negatively impact their personal financial goals. >> jessica, a lot of people don't know, there are millions of dollars in scholarships that go unclaimed every year. how can students find them? >> yes, over $100 million annually in scholarship funds go unclaimed. here are some of the best ways to find some of this unclaimed funding. you may download the app called scholly and research internships that come with scholarships. additionally apply to scholarships through your community organizations and build a relationship with your financial aid office. lastly, you want to make sure you're maintaining academic excellence, because you'll be able to be awarded scholarships based off your academic performance. >> for those students or graduates with federal student loans how can they prepare for those upcoming payments that are scheduled to resume on may 1st? >> well, people can prepare for the upcoming payments by following up with their loan

servicer and building a relationship with them, you will be able to find a repayment plan feasible for you to maintain and it will allow you to inquire about potentially consolidating your student loans or seeing if you're eligible to receive public service loan forgiveness based off your employment. >> jessica brown, thank you for your guidance. we appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up, "gma's takeout fakeout." food network's jeff mauro is here with his spin on a favorite you can make at home. we'll be right back.

>> yes, we are. a lot of people are eating out more than ever. we got to tune up, start making more stuff at home. >> let's find out what we're making today. let's call for the delivery please. there he is. blake, our delivery guy. >> look at this. >> i know. >> thank you so much. >> what is it? >> wow. >> what? we're making gyros and fries. >> yay! >> in honor of george stephanopoulos. >> it's gyro, gyro. excuse me, i'm going to start over here, robin. >> because the meat -- >> what are you saying? i'm sorry. >> because the meat. usually we see it on the vertical rotisserie. >> it's the vertically broiled mystery meat. let's use beautiful ground lamb. healthier for you, cooks up very quickly. okay. what we did was brown it, retained all that beautiful lamb fat. lamb fat is good for your hair,

your skin, your attitude. so what we're going to do is bump up the flavor. a lot of flavors you find in that mystery vertical meat. some red onions for sweetness, a little bit garlic, some tomato paste to kind of sweeten it up. lamb has that sweet flavor, right? gyros are so gratifying and then for the herbs you put it in with that lamb fat. let it bloom. look at that. watch what happens. >> what herbs? >> this just some ground oregano, ground thyme. once this all happens hit it neen youut the mt ck in tlred t you tigh gets so good and you smell it in the air. it smells like a gyro stand. >> it really does. >> when you walk by the gyro joint, right. >> it really does already. >> we cook that down a little

bit but there's still some pink and finish with all those aromatic ingredients and tighten up. then -- >> this is hard too. >> this is hard. >> the pita, to make it taste like it does at the restaurant. >> you can go very wrong on that. >> you can go wrong. get the pocket ones. i like the restaurant style pitas. we'll paint it in good old greek olive oil. >> you can do store bought and then you sort of take it to the next level. >> paint the other side while you flip it. then this is the trick. you get the foil-wrapped peta. so warm. you hit it with a little sea salt. it sticks to the olive oil and seasons this layer upon that seasoned layer upon the next seasoned layer. we'll let that get golden brown. tzaziki. >> exactly. >> yogurt sauce. >> tza-xactly. >> thank you very much. got to give this guy a raise. he's going places. we start with cucumbers.

cucumber yogurt sauce. we'll bump it up with a couple of other ingredients. there's a ton of moisture. you can survive on a ship with just one cucumber there's so much water in it, a stranded ship on an island. we do good old fat greek yogurt. not the stuff that's sweetened with raspberry. now comes the best part. feta. crumbled feta. a tad of garlic and fresh mint and this becomes as beautiful and you can use this for pita chips, leftover pita. every time you go to a mediterranean place they always give you a stack of pita this big. let's build. >> let's build them. which layer? >> layer first, this is our glue for our meat. feta mint tzaziki. >> i don't like glue for the meat. >> how about adhesive? >> that's so much better. >> better, right, the caulk.

>> now we'll add that meat which will stick nicely to tzaziki. now we have this beautiful -- now this is all in my cookbook "come on over" which is the number one cookbook ever, according to my mother pam and three out of my seven aunts. >> there you have it. >> you know it's true. >> you know it's true. >> super easy, red onion, cucumber. >> fresh tomato. little more cucumber. >> we're running out of time. the french fries. >> now we -- we got some fresh cut hand cut expertly cut by my lady karen in the back. i didn't do anything. >> karen, yes. >> put them in a little peanut oil. nothing crazy, no blanching, no poaching. >> peanut oil. >> peanut oil. it's tasty. high smoke point. we'll need a dipping sauce with our favorite mayonnaise and put a little mustard for some tang in there, this is my 18,000 island dressing. >> okay. >> it's 17,000 more better than the regular. do i have to do the math?

>> we got to go. >> i'm doing so much. i'm so tired. >> your work is never done. >> every fry needs a dipping sauce and i'm a fan of something spicy. >> this is the best takeout fake out we've ever done. >> it really is. >> we say gyros here in new york. say whatever you want, just try the recipe. jeff on "the kitchen" saturdays. on the food net work. >> thank you. >> scan the qr code to get all of these recipes on goodmorningamerica.com. coming up, the new warning about young children and screen time and what parents can do to set limits. no limits right now.

we are back with a warning about young children and screen time. the american academy of pediatrics now says that babies and toddlers up to 2 shouldn't be looking at screens at all, 2 to 5, limited to one hour. a new analysis found the vast majority are exceeding those recommendations and dr. jen ashton is here to break it down. >> george, this is a report card on parents and their toddlers. it's really about how much and who. so the university of calgary looked at a lot of other studies and crunched those numbers, and what they found is for babies, birth to age 2 for whom the recommendation is zero screen time over 75% of them are exceeding those daily recommendations. if you look at older children, toddlers, 2 to 5, over 64% of them are exceeding that one-hour

maximum a day. so this is potentially an area for intervention. >> so what's the harm to babies and toddlers? >> i'm glad you asked about harm, but we should remember potentially there are some benefits. there are things that our children can learn with judicious use of a screen. but i think when you talk about hrm, obviously too much screen time has been linked with increasing rates of obesity, poor sleep, the potential depending on what they watch for exposure to violent content and there could be cognitive delays and i think when you take into account the risk versus benefit, in this age group the risks outweigh the benefits. >> especially during the pandemic that screen can be a parent's best friend. >> i know. this is not easy to minimize this, but, again, you want to make sure that when they are using screen time, it's supervised. you want to keep those devices out of sight and out of reach so that it's your choice when they use them, not theirs and then uncouple the eating and watching behavior so they're not

just eating snacks and watching -- >> so it's not mindless. >> exactly. of course, you know, the good old-fashioned walk like we do, playing outside always good for the kids. >> jen ashton, thanks very much. ginger? >> thanks, george. if you were "lost in love" with new edition or "can you stand the rain," you got to check out tamron hall. the guys are together for an exclusive interview. you don't want to miss it. check your local listings for show time. let's get a check drew: it is bright, breezy today. temperatures in the 50's and low 60's as it went sarcastic over 20 miles per hour. now to a celebrated illustrator using her work to inspire future generations. jena holliday is out with a new children's book, "a spoonful of faith" and, jena joins us live this morning. happy to see you.

i got to tell you happy to share your new book with my niece's sweet daughter sally. all encouraging them to have faith in their act. where did that term, a spoonful of faith come from, jena? >> yeah, so a spoonful of faith is actually inspired from my own childhood growing up. my parents would encourage us just to have faith and my mom specifically would affirm us, just to be unique and love who we were. so i took that inspiration and weaved it into this story of a little girl named laila and her mom and how they come together on a day where she's nervous about starting something new, and her mom gives her the perfect recipe that encourages and inspires her faith to overcome. >> and you took your own leap of faith, turning your hobby of illustrating into a full-time business and we have some of

your work here in the studio that we want to share with everybody right now. absolutely stunning. so when did you realize that it was time to pursue your passion? >> thank you. yes, so i've always loved to create. i come from a very creative family. but it wasn't until i became a mom myself that i started to want to walk forward and all of the passions and things i had inside, i wanted to be an example for my children. not to hold back and have fear, but to walk forward in those things that are in our hearts. >> yeah, my sister always says don't let fear keep you from your destiny. we all have that fear, but don't let it stop you in your tracks. i want to show this other image. you call it unity. and why do you think it has struck a chord for so many folks, jena? >> yes, so this image was shared around the time of the black lives matter movement and i'm from minneapolis. so there was just a lot of separation and division at that time and i think this image

resonated with so many people as they saw themselves in it and they also saw just a powerful message of standing for us together, just, you know, combating the issues that we have in the world and seeing ourselves as a part of the change to come. >> part of the change to come, together, yes. and so let me ask you this, it's wonderful that you took that leap of faith and we have many who want to make the pivot as we call it during covid. if someone that's watching right now wants to make that change in their own lives and probably in the lives of others, what are your tips for them? >> yeah, so, i would say use your gifts. use what you have. look at the passions and strengths that you already have inside, utilize your network. there are people that are right there willing to help you. i would also say that make sure you have some type of financial cushion. it's always important just

getting into the ebbs and flows of business that you have some type of support financially and then the last thing i would say is to jump and take that leap of faith. it's so important -- i mean, the hardest part is really starting and just getting going, even if they are small steps that will -- you don't know what will come from that so take that leap of faith. >> yeah, and another one of my family members says, instead of saying one day, one day, say day one. this is day one. no more one day. day one. just flip the script a little bit. thank you for sharing your talents and your gifts with us, jena holliday. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. "a spoonful of faith" is out today. coming up, our own linsey davis is here live sharing her new beautiful children's book. come on back. new beautiful children's book. come on back.

back now on "gma," our next guest is one busy woman here at abc and in her spare time she's a best-selling children's book author. she's joining us now to talk about her latest book called "how high is heaven." good morning, linsey davis. good morning to you. how are you? >> good morning, mr. strahan. it's good to see you. >> great to see you. i'm trying to understand. you are so busy here. when do you have time to write a book? >> not as busy as you but, look, i don't know if i should admit my son likes for one person to be in the room with him to fall asleep. once the lights are out i sneak my phone in and i kind of start reflecting on the day and in a number of ways i consider to be a storyteller and i feel like this is a way to tell the good news, the uplifting and get away mayhem that we talk about g an much in the news cycle and

kind of joyful and a way to get the creative juices. >> your son ayden is your muse. how does he inspire this? >> he said how come my friend has two grandmas and two grandpas and i only have one of each. i started telling him about grandma p. as we call her, my husband's mother who passed away when my son was about 1, so i said let me show you the pictures of her. he said i want to see her. i said she's in heaven. he said, no, i want to go see her. i want to go to heaven and see her, and this was something he really kind of became preoccupied about for several days he would talk about, when, how old can i be when i go to heaven? to see her. after a while i was like this is really worthy of a conversation. >> wow, and you've written four books. does he have a favorite, and if so, how do you say, okay, the book is ready, does ayden have to give his approval? >> you know, i do. he has always been my tester. so early on when i finish i'm reading it to him to kind of see what he thinks. he's really into the character and especially in this one. i have to say he says each book is his favorite when it comes

out. now i think he's probably trying to placate mom but i would say in this one, even though he's inspired each of the books, he knows. we had this conversation and we were up in a plane and looking out the window and he said i don't see her. i said who. grandma p., i thought while up here we would see her. that was the moment that inspired the book. it's a whimsical way of addressing death for kids. certainly you're aware of the grim milestones we've been passing. it's estimated more than 200,000 children in the last two years have lost a primary caregiver due to covid and this is kind of a little boy who is trying to take a pogo stick or a trampoline or a spaceship or a hot air balloon in order to get to heaven and see grandma. >> your face is a theme in this book. why was that important for you to include? >> i couldn't really talk to my son about death without talking about heaven. this isn't just confined to one particular religion and all the holy books they talk about the

reward at the end of life. so i felt like for him, the idea of a reunion, that this was not good-bye but this was see you later was what kind of finally calmed him and gave him a little bit of comfort, a little bit of solace in all of it that one day he get to heaven and one day he will see grandma again. >> i absolutely love being inspired by your kids. how ayden does that for you. >> i think that, when we look at life through their eyes, it's refreshing for us, you know. it's really just a beautiful way for me to connect with my son because a lot of times i'm like don't watch the news. this is too much for you but with the books it's a way that we can actually have conversations and i'm able to kind of channel him in the work that i'm doing because i'm with him every day, i'm seeing what he's curious about and what he's questioning and what he's experiencing, and it's really a lovely way that i hope parents and kids especially people who are dealing with death and trying to talk to kids in a

young way about it, i think quite often the greatest theologians struggle with how to talk about heaven and death, but kids just have that imagination vrsus intellect. they're able to imagine it. >> when he gets older will he say remember those books we wrote? >> that's right. >> everybody at home, linsey's book, "how high is heaven" is out today. make sure you go pick yourself up a copy of it and we will be righ okay, it's go time. team usa on the largest gig-speed network. which means this mega fan never misses a second. it's gig-speed wifi that's “mikaela shiffrin” fast. ok, that's fast! speed's cool, but does yours block threats?
