Why did you get into writing books?
Life can be overwhelming, and for me, writing is healing. It became a space where I could process the world, slow down, and transform life’s challenges into beautiful, hopeful narratives. Through my books, I wanted to create a safe harbor for kids.
What advice can you give young authors?
Honestly, I still feel like I’m learning and growing every single day, so I don’t know if I have any master wisdom! But if I could share one thing that has helped me, it is to write from the heart and trust your unique voice.
What is your book about and what inspired you to write it?
My deepest inspiration for this book came directly from my own son. I wanted to write something that showed him, and all children, that their exact presence is the greatest gift to the grownups who love them.
