BULLYING. SELF-REGULATION. KINDNESS
Welcome
THANK YOU for visiting my page and purchasing my books!
Since 2019, I’ve been writing and publishing children’s books that inspire kindness, emotional growth, and self-awareness. Through relatable characters and interactive storytelling, my books help young readers build empathy, regulate big emotions, and develop the tools they need to thrive socially and emotionally.
My titles include:
-
I'm Gonna Have A Good Day! — a window into a classroom involving a prankster and jokester having a fun time at the expense of others.
-
Breathe, Gabby, Breathe! — a gentle guide to mindfulness and calming strategies
-
Gabby Meets Kindness — a heartwarming new release that teaches empathy, friendship, and kindness in action
Newly released: Gabby Meets Kindness is a must-have resource for parents, educators, and counselors. Whether a child is feeling anxious, struggling to connect with others, or learning to manage their emotions, this story offers a compassionate roadmap to becoming a kinder human.
Together, these books create a powerful foundation for emotional intelligence — one story at a time.
