Stories for children
(and secretly for adults).
I write picture books where tenderness is not weakness,
kindness has teeth,
and listening is a form of courage.
These books are for you if…
– you want stories that don’t rush children toward lessons
– you believe humor can hold truth without shouting
– you trust children with complexity, feeling, and intelligence
– you know that softness and strength are not opposites
My characters don’t become better by trying harder.
They don’t win by defeating others.
They don’t fix themselves.
They listen.
They leave when something isn’t right.
They learn what feels true from the inside.
What lives in these stories
🐢 A turtle who searches for enlightenment — and finds herself
🐔 A hen who quietly walks away from a draining system
🦊 A soft creature who learns that sensitivity is not a flaw
These are stories about:
self-trust without arrogance
boundaries without cruelty
growth without self-erasure
humor without humiliation
They are written for children —
but they stay with adults long
Why I write this way
Because children already feel more than we think.
Because many adults learned too early to stop listening to themselves.
Because stories can offer permission —
not instructions.
Permission to pause.
Permission to leave.
Permission to be kind and clear.
Permission to be exactly where you are.
If you are here looking for books that feel
both safe and alive,
both tender and sharp,
both playful and true —
you are in the right place.
