My stories are grounded in real places, plants, animals and ecological relationships, so children not only enjoy imaginative tales but also get a window into the natural world and each ecological habitat or niche — its beauty, complexity and wonder. These aren’t just fairy settings—they reflect real ecosystems and encourage respect for nature and the unique creatures that have adapted to survive there.

These books are written and illustrated to engage young readers (and read-aloud listeners) in the preschool to early-elementary age range. The language, pacing and visuals are designed to hold interest for ages 4-9, making them a great fit for bedtime, classroom read-alouds or independent exploration.

Each book comes with extra guidance tools for older readers: discussion ideas, research prompts and exploration ideas to extend learning beyond the story and encourage questioning. These bonus materials help families, classrooms and curious children dig deeper—investigating the ecosystems, nature connections and themes found in the story. Links to further reading or websites round out the tools so the book becomes a launch-point for exploration, not just a one-time read. Occasionally I add in some extra activity sheets, like coloring pages. Some are free on my site to download under EXTRAS.

Each book is brought to life by my artistry: every illustration is hand-drawn with care, intention and personality. You’ll find no artificial intellegence-generated images in my books —just genuine craftsmanship and stories that add warmth and individuality to every page. Check out my TikTok videos on my illustration process under MY WORLD.

My style in writing and illustrating mimics my real painting and takes days for each graphic spread - sometimes as much as a week for every two page spread and every paragraph can take as much as two days to research and craft into a small amount of words.

I hope you enjoy my books as a much as I did in making them!

With hand-illustrated artwork (no AI involved), stories rooted in real ecosystems and nature, and a reading level tailored perfectly for ages 4-8, my books bring genuine artistry and meaningful connection with the natural world to young readers. Plus, each volume includes bonus guidance for older children, families, or classrooms—discussion questions, research prompts, exploration ideas and links to further materials—so the story becomes the start of discovery rather than the end and opens discussions on a whole wide world of subjects, bad and good.
