Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚ Available at pu Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚

Available at public libraries and bookstores.

STOP READING THIS BOOK is a fun picture book where the book challenges the reader to stop reading. Along the way, the reader meets elements of books like hero's, villans and challenges to overcome.

THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS is about a Grandma who magically transforms into different dinosaurs. Lots of dino facts, non-binary characters, and inter-generational endearment.
