When words find their way back!

Sometimes, the stories we write echo back in the hearts we wrote them for. 💛

“The Courage to Speak is a charming children's book that thoughtfully introduces young readers to the significance of expressing themselves. Featuring vibrant illustrations and relatable characters, it inspires children to understand their emotions, verbalize them, and ask for help when necessary.”

Humbled and grateful for every parent, teacher, and child who’s found a piece of themselves in Ellis’s story. 💬

Before we can help children “fix” what’s wrong, we need to help them name what they feel.
Because every solution begins with understanding.

Let’s teach our children that emotions aren’t problems to solve, they’re messages to listen to.

The first draft of The Courage to Say Goodbye.

This one was born from a season of endings I didn’t expect, and the lessons that refused to stay quiet.

Seeing my daughter, whose likeness inspired Avery's own, hold the first draft makes the whole story feel even more alive.

✨ “Sometimes, goodbye teaches us how to love better.” ✨

Every ending carries the echo of love, the kind that stays, grows, and reminds us what truly matters.
Avery’s next story is almost ready to meet the world. 💛

The journey continues...

Months after The Courage to Speak was released, schools are still reaching out to share how it’s being used in classrooms, and that means the world 💛💛

It’s a reminder that stories have a life of their own.
As The Courage to Say Goodbye prepares to join the series, I am grateful to see how far Ellis' message has travelled, and how much more is yet to come.

✨ Behind every story lies a spark of truth.

When I began writing The Courage to Speak, I did not imagine how deeply the stories shared with me by real children would stay in my heart. Their courage to feel, to trust, and to find words shaped every page and those not yet written.

Some days, writing meant revisiting emotions I had seen in my sessions. Other days, it meant holding onto hope that these words could help a child somewhere feel understood.

💬 Every story starts small, but it can echo in the hearts of many.

💚 Big feelings deserve small moments of care.
On this , let’s remember that when a child learns to name what they feel, healing begins.

Through The Courage to Speak, I’ve seen how stories open doors for conversations that matter, quiet, brave, and full of heart. 🌱

Still feels surreal...

When I first began writing, I never imagined that my stories would find their way into the hands of readers all around the world. But here we are.

Just today, I typed my name and the title of my book into Google… and up came pages of results. Not just Amazon, but other leading bookstores, distributors, and platforms I never dreamed I would see my work on.

I can no longer say “available on Amazon”, because these books have truly gone worldwide. 🌍

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you to every reader, every supporter, every kind message that reminded me that words do make a difference.
