Little stories for big feelings.
I write picture books that help children build confidence, kindness and resilience — and give the grown-ups in their lives gentle ways to talk about big feelings, together.

A picture book
Oh, Whiskers & Wattles
A rhyming Australian bush adventure with Wally the wombat.
Stories that spark the conversations that matter most.
I believe every child deserves language for their inner world — and every grown-up deserves a gentle way in. My books are designed to be read again and again, opening quiet doors between you and the child in your life.
Shaped by years working one-on-one with children in early childhood settings, and grounded in social-emotional learning research, they meet children where they are and take grown-ups gently by the hand.
"Emotional literacy is a childhood right, not a bonus lesson."
— Jordan Blair
