My Books

I was inspired to write my award-winning children's book and accompanying coloring book after noticing how often adults hesitated to engage with my family in public, while children showed genuine curiosity. I saw a chance to turn those moments into opportunities for learning, connection, and inclusion. When I couldn’t find a book that shared this message, I decided to create one myself. My hope is simple: that education and understanding will open the door to greater inclusion for all.
