Why I Write Children's Books

Probably the biggest reason I wanted to write children’s books, was because I felt like it would be a magnificent way for me to commemorate all of my nieces and nephews! It has been really enjoyable working with them, especially when they get excited about seeing themselves in an upcoming story! They have even given input on their characters’ designs and colors, which makes the experiences extra special. Working together with them is always fun! I hope that these stories will keep bringing them joy and making them proud, not just now, but for years to come, as they get older! 

As a children’s author, I enjoy opportunity to use my creativity

As a children's author, I enjoy the opportunity to use my creativity and imagination when writing my books, through the process of playing with fonts, colors, and illustrations in each story. It allows me to connect with kids in an engaging way, by using simple language that younger kids can understand, while also teaching them something positive about themselves through these fun tales! It’s one of my favorite parts and the main goal for every story I tell. I always want to be teaching them something useful while keeping it fun! By teaching kids from a young age, I feel as though it will better prepare them for life. I also just think children’s books can be a really exciting and interactive way for kids to learn simple life lessons.

As someone who usually spends a lot of my time on more serious matters of day-to-day life and dealing with adults so regularly, it gives me some time to get away from all the hassles and stressors adult life can bring, reminisce on easier times, and jump back into the entertaining side of life. I like thinking back on the fun times of my own childhood and what types of books I would have loved to be able to read.
