My Story
Comfort, courage, and imagination in every story, turning bedtime fears into brave adventures!
I first began thinking about writing children’s books when my children were small and my second child struggled with nightmares. To help calm bedtime fears I made up silly stories about monsters hiding in closets, swinging from hangers, and trying on shoes.
My children are now grown, and I continue to share my love of storytelling with my grandchildren. My love of rhyme began with my mother, who created rhyming Christmas plays for our family and made up playful rhymes to help me study and remember things. Over time, I discovered that rhyme and storytelling could help children learn, imagine, and feel brave.
Through Purple Butterfly Books, I create bright, playful stories that help children turn nighttime fears into fun adventures while encouraging a lifelong love of reading. I am currently working on the next books in the series.
These three picture books each tackle a common childhood worry with rhyme, color, and the gentlest reassurance: There is nothing to fear!
Every story encourages children to face fears with courage, laughter, and growing bravery.
