Stories with a Purpose
Sharing love and learning through every page
My books are made for little ones learning how to handle big feelings. I write gentle, heartfelt stories that guide children through emotions like sadness, courage, and kindness, feelings we all face, even as grown-ups. Through characters like Jovie the puppy, I show how the smallest moments can carry the biggest lessons. My words are simple, my tone is warm, and every page is filled with love. More than anything, I write to comfort, to inspire, and to help each child feel seen, safe, and deeply understood, because every child deserves that kind of care.
Where the Stories Began
Inspired by real feelings, written from the heart.
I began writing stories because I wanted to help children understand their feelings in a kind and simple way. When I worked as a Head Start teacher, I saw how deeply kids feel things, even when they don’t have the words to say it. I often remembered my own childhood and wished someone had helped me make sense of big emotions like sadness, fear, or feeling left out. That’s how the idea for Jovie was born, a little puppy with a big heart, learning and growing just like the children I write for. My hope is that every child who reads my books feels understood, comforted, and reminded that they’re never alone in what they feel.
