Have you always dreamed of writing a children's book that your kids would love and adore?
I launched my first children’s picture book Mommy, Mommy, Where Is The Moon? in 2022, my second book I Love My Little Brother in 2023, and my third book I Love My Big Sister in 2024. I hope to share my learnings and the process I went through with you

Recommended Children's Picture Book Courses
- Pat Zietlow’s Creating a Magical Picture Book with Emotion, Compassion and Heart – This webinar was packed full of tips in what to think about to write a picture book with heart. I often go back to watch it for reminders on how to engage with young readers.
- April Cox’s The 90-Day Way – I personally took this 12-week course and it kept me on track to self-publish my 2nd book. The cozy group and mentors, April, Tammy, and Bobbie, were helpful and encouraging. It was also comforting to have a group of authors on this journey together!
