A Journey Through Childhood #childrensbooks #childrenlearning #childhoodeducation #responsibility #empathy #compassion

Celebrate with me the re-release of my Journeys series. Over the past year, I've dedicated myself to rewriting and enhancing my storytelling skills, incorporating AI and graphic design to achieve the vision I've always had for my children's books. A year ago, I was disappointed with the copies I received in the mail to give to a friend, realizing they didn't reflect my intentions. Since then, I've immersed myself in graphic design and have been inspired by a therapist's review, who uses The Adventures of Leaf in his office library to help children going through difficult times.

Accompanied by my son, I arrived in Thailand, a country brimming with beauty and wonder, offering endless inspiration. As I prepare for the launch of my books, I've had the pleasure of writing beneath a palm tree, indulging in an abundance of coconut milk—a true local luxury. Thailand has imparted to me an education surpassing any I could have received in a classroom. The warmth and kindness of its people are unparalleled. For those curious about my adventures, updates are available on my Facebook page.

Crafting engaging children's books that impart moral lessons is a delightful pursuit that merges fun with learning. The secret to thriving in this genre lies in striking an ideal balance between narrative and the intended moral message. By integrating moral lessons into the story's core, I craft tales that enchant young minds and profoundly influence their grasp of morality. An effective strategy is to design characters who grapple with predicaments or obstacles akin to those young readers may face, fostering connection through empathy and rendering the morals more pertinent and comprehensible.

​"The Adventures of Leaf" narrates the tale of a leaf's journey through birth, death and her subsequent revival in the spring. It serves as a gentle approach to discussing themes of death, loss of companionship, and life transitions in a constructive way between a caregiver and a child. Interactive coloring pages are incorporated throughout my books to facilitate the exploration of emotions as they arise.
