About Me

I’ve always been a bookworm, diving into stories like they were a cozy blanket! But as a kid, I didn’t quite grasp their magic until I became a parent. That’s when I realized books are not just pages bound together; they’re gateways to wild adventures and emotional roller coasters!

Reading is like a superpower that sparks imagination and takes you on time-traveling journeys. It can make you feel all the feels—happy, sad, anxious—you name it! I was determined for my kids to fall in love with reading, not just for the tales, but to stretch their minds and ask those “why” questions. Of course, sometimes that meant bedtime was a Q&A marathon, thanks to my curious daughter!

When my little one hit first grade, library day became her favorite holiday! Reading was a bit tricky for her due to her hearing impairment, but I cheered her on like a proud coach. One fateful afternoon, she burst in with her treasure: “The Bear Snores On” by Karma Wilson. That book flipped a switch for me! I read it so many times that I could recite it in my sleep!

We turned grocery trips and dentist waits into storytime adventures, making it interactive. Clara and Joseph chimed in with the repetitive parts, and let me tell you, nothing beats a 4-year-old proclaiming, “and the bear nores on!”

This book will forever be etched in their hearts, destined to be read to their own little ones. And if I’m being real, it’s totally my favorite too! One day, I dream that my stories will inspire another child, and their mom will recite my tales in the car, adding a sprinkle of magic to their everyday moments!
