My passion in life is to see young children thrive and succeed in life. In this day and time children are faced with unnecessary obstacles, where for many, their lives are at risk. Many are exposed to behaviors that are unhealthy to their lives. This is where I came up with writing children’s books. It was an idea that could only be given from God. I took the activities from my daycare, such as going swimming, going fishing, learning how to swim, the snail family, and going to the zoo, and created them into books. In these books I also give the children rules and regulations that will give them direction throughtout their journey in life. These rules and regulations are effective tools that will stay with the children who read them along with my daycare and foster care.
For many years, I have been trying to figure out a way, to help children inside and outside of my daycare and foster care facility. I came up with the children’s books that are not just books, but fun and exciting learning tools that children can use to start a path down a positive road.view less
