Strong and Brave Voice

My new children’s book, Stella’s Brave Voice, will be debuting soon, and, like its predecessor The Only Me, the inspiration behind this book is near and dear to my heart. Like The Only Me, Stella’s Brave Voice was inspired by my own children… but the book’s theme and overarching lesson — learning to use your […]

The Only Me

A book about twins that celebrates individuality and self-love.

Stella and Paige are 7-year-old fraternal twins who don’t look alike and have different personalities and interests. Yet, people constantly compare them or comment about how strange it is that they’re not similar. They may be twins, but they’re not the same person!

Stella wishes people would see her for who she is, and not as “Stella and Paige,” or “one of the twins.”

All of the comparing and contrasting leaves Stella confused about her identity and wondering who she is outside of her sibling relationship. Sadly, she also wonders if she doesn’t measure up to her sister, Paige, the more outgoing twin.

Can Stella find a way to accept and value herself for who she is, and realize that she and Paige can each be their own, special and unique people, and still be twins?

The Only Me — Behind the Curtain

For the first time in my life I went ahead and did a thing that was not perfectly planned or meticulously thought out… one day I opened up my laptop and began writing a children’s book. Okay, let me backtrack here just a little bit. I guess I can’t say in all truthfulness that it […]
