"What Do You See When You See Me?"


This book is inspired by Lauren, who is paralyzed from the chest down. She may be in a wheelchair, but she has the spirit of a bird. She is an inspiration to all, especially to those who want to be loved and accepted for who they are. You will be inspired by this story!

"When Can I Sing?"


"When Can I Sing?" deals with a child's learning difficulties. This book explores the idea of children being able to learn more than one way. It also discusses the flexibility of being taught differently.

"When Can I Roar?"


My first book was written for our son, Caleb, when he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in 1997. This book explores a child's need to understand when the time is right to be loud and energetic and when not to.
