I had planned to share this post earlier, but time got away from me. So here I am, still celebrating!

March 1st was a special day—not only did I celebrate my birthday, but I also celebrated the book birthdays of Penelope’s Big Dream (2023) and Charlotte’s Quest (2024)!

No, it wasn’t a coincidence 🤣—it was a deliberate decision, a gift to myself to follow my dreams. And oh boy, what an adventure it has been! A journey full of highs and lows, lessons learned, and experiences I wouldn’t trade for anything.

The Journey of My Books

When I set out to write children’s books, I knew exactly the kind of stories I wanted to share—fun, engaging, and meaningful stories that inspire children while celebrating their uniqueness.

I believe that picture books have the power not only to entertain but also to educate and help children process the world around them. What we read to little ones matters—so let’s make it count.

With that idea in mind, I published:

✨ Penelope’s Big Dream (2023) – A story about dreaming big, believing in yourself, and never giving up.

✨ Charlotte’s Quest (2024) – A heartwarming adventure about finding happiness in the little things.

How You Can Celebrate With Me!

• Download Charlotte’s Quest for FREE today and tomorrow (March 4th-5th) on Kindle! Grab your copy here.

• Gift a book to a child, teacher, library, or nonprofit organization. (You might want to check out Chapters of Change—a wonderful organization that promotes literacy in rural areas of the Philippines!)

• Share this post with friends who might love these books, too.

Thank you for your messages, pictures, reviews, and kind words!

Every time you share my books or leave a review, you help spread the joy of reading to more children.

💛 If you download Charlotte’s Quest, I’d truly appreciate it if you could leave a review on Amazon—it makes a difference!

Thank you for celebrating with me! Here’s to another year of stories, dreams, and adventure!
