Why I became a Children's Book Author

ABout Me

I love reading children’s books. When I taught elementary school many years ago, my favorite part of the day was reading to the kids. Now that I have my own son, I have read many more books and have been inspired to write my own. My son was not impressed with the first one I wrote, so I kept trying until he laughed aloud while I read it. So began my journey as an author.
Now I write to celebrate creativity, encourage mindfulness, and promote diversity.
​ I hope you enjoy reading my books to your little ones as much as I've enjoyed writing them.
