Children have been a big part of my life ever since I can remember. As a Mom I have always tried to instill the importance of books and reading in my own child. Books can take a child to magical places they have never been before. They can stir their imaginations and spark their creativity. I hope my books will bring as much joy to your children as I have had making them.

Story Behind The Book

My daughter lost her Grandma and had a very difficult time accepting a new Grandmother. I had to let her know that there was always enough love to go around and that there is always enough love in your heart to love someone new. I wanted her to know that her Grandma would always love her and that it was okay to love her new Grandmother too.

<span class="LHtmlTextView content_description">&quot;Baby Duck's New Grandma&quot;<br />&quot;This book definitely has a positive message though the pace is a little fast. It is definitely something children can relate to, especially those who have lost people they love and have to get used to new people.It is a good book that has a good lesson within itself.&quot; Reviewer:CT Ghostwriter reviews </span>
