"Every child deserves stories that spark their imagination while building essential reading skills. My goal is to create books that children want to read again and again—not because they have to, but because they genuinely love the characters and adventures."
Through Banana Fun Bread, I combine educational rigor with pure fun. The book teaches 28 sight words naturally through Fred's wild chase, making learning feel like play rather than work.
I believe in the power of representation and inclusivity. Every child should see themselves reflected in the stories they read, and every family should feel welcome in the world of children's literature.
