W&W Literature

What you consume doesn’t begin and end with food. It is also very much the social media you follow, the conversations you entertain and the movies and books you read and watch. My motherhood journey began in 2016 and I still find myself shocked at certain storylines that are pitched as children’s entertainment. Childhood is sacred and I defend it as such.

Each one of my children’s books aims to nurture and bloom a child’s self-purpose, highlight the love and importance that surround him/her and ignite pride in one’s family unit. These are fundamental building blocks for self assurance, confidence, healthy relationship building and steady footing in what truly matters (as we navigate a reality heavily influenced by all the things that don’t.) As a former high school educator, these are the books that need to be on our children’s nightstands; the messages that need to be whispered into little ears before bed.

Pea-ple of the World is a literary work that illustrates real and common family structures spoken through forms of diverse peas in pods. These portrayals are the family structures that populate our neighborhoods, school districts, friend circles; family structures geared to represent yours and mine; family structures that make up the Pea-ple of the World.

Pea-ple of the World

The Earth Needed You is a loosely poetic work that walks through the life of a child from the parents' perspective pointing out the ordinary moments, but moments that profoundly convey how much that child is needed; moments that may not seem beautiful while you are in them, but the exact moments that shape a person, shape a life. Every child deserves to witness ordinary become magical.

The Earth Needed You

I Gave the World a You draws beauty from the ordinary that surrounds us- shadows stretching, bugs chirping, slow ocean waves. The speaker is painting the world perfectly as if he or she were describing Earth to someone who has never been. It is seemingly complete and in need of nothing more, until a baby comes, and he/she realizes as exciting and colorful as the Earth has always been, it was missing this child.
