About My Storybook

I am a mother to a beautiful 8-year-old daughter and a wonderful 5-year-old son.

Four months ago, our lives changed forever when my husband passed away.

Suddenly, I found myself navigating overwhelming emotions, difficult questions, and moments I didn’t always know how to handle. Like many parents, I wanted to stay strong for my children — but I was learning, one day at a time, how to guide them through grief while also finding my own way.

So, I started writing.

What began as small notes — moments, emotions, questions — slowly turned into stories.

Stories became my way of explaining feelings.
Stories became my way of comforting my children.
Stories became my therapy.

And in time… these stories became Maya, Leo & Buddy.

With the help of creative tools and many hours of love, I shaped these moments into gentle, meaningful storybooks designed to help children understand emotions, feel safe, and know they are not alone.

Because the truth is — we are not the only family walking this path.

If these stories can help even one parent, or bring comfort to one child, then this journey has meaning beyond our own.
