A Writer, Perhaps. But a Dreamer For Sure!

Stories start in dreaming first, and writing is how they find their way out.

I learned to express myself through drawing before I learned to write. I was an itty bitty toddler when I felt the magic that came from expressing myself on paper. I didn’t know what to call it, but writing surely didn’t come to mind and “Dreamer” seemed more fitting.

Many artists refer to themselves as writers, but I prefer to call myself a dreamer because my stories are created in my imagination before they reach paper.

I love dreaming. I love storytelling. And if writing is how I give my gift to the world….. then I suppose I’m a writer too, still led by dreaming and still guided by story. When I write, know that it is still the itty bitty toddler in me exploring her imagination and sharing her dreams.

Shaping the way things are viewed, one story at a time.

My “why” constantly changes and is often redirected where I see a need. When I started, my goal was to express myself. Now, I write because books are passports that allow children to explore and grow.

I also write children’s stories to protect curiosity and imagination. Through storytelling, I hope to support emotional growth and independence.

Additionally, I write to support parents and educators who value thoughtful childhood.

Releasing My Dreams To The World…

I write children’s stories that blend emotional awareness, imagination, and curiosity. 

My work includes picture books and early chapter stories designed to give children space to think, feel, and wonder, without being rushed toward an outcome.

My stories are written for children and adults who are guiding them.

I believe many adults struggle with Indecision because they lacked  guidance as children. When a child is molded to fit the desires of their caregivers, they often grow into adults unsure of what to wear, what to eat, or what path to pursue because they were never given the space to discover themselves.

Children are already whole people. They don’t require our constant criticism, control, or approval to become capable. Their curiosity is a form of intelligence and their emotional expression is a form of communication.

I believe we can guide children into stronger, wiser, and more capable adults. But guidance requires presence, patience, and protection, not force or exposure. And it requires more adults who believe this, too.

I know stories can help bridge this gap, but not without the help of caregivers and educators.

I hope my stories give children permission to trust themselves and encourage adults to slow down. If a child feels seen and an adult pauses long enough to listen, then the story has done its work.

When I’m not writing, I‘m usually observing children, collecting questions, and noticing the stories that exist in ordinary moments.
