Hello there, little one. I love it when I start to see a character beginning to develop and take shape. It’s like magic. 💫

Inspired by a beautiful Claude Monet painting, a little artist decides to create her own masterpiece, but her puppy has other ideas.

Just under 8 months until CLAUDE unveils his masterpiece!

One of my favorite things in creating art is light. ✨Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. #positivitypost #kidlitart

I'm holding onto the hope that the perfect editor will fall in love with this book. It’s a story about kindness, a message I feel our world needs now more than ever, for readers of all ages.
The manuscript is officially out on submission with my incredible agent, @kterrette!

It all started in a sketchbook. These characters filled my pages, but for years, their story remained just out of reach. I waited patiently, trusting that the Lord would reveal it in His perfect time. Now, after a long journey, the story is finally written, and a new kind of waiting begins.
I'm holding onto the hope that the perfect editor will fall in love with this book and help bring it into the world. It’s a story about kindness, a message I feel our world needs now more than ever, for readers of all ages.
