I’m a children’s book author and illustrator, and I created two books inspired by my love of nature, childhood curiosity, and the little moments that make life so special, A Toad for Just a Little While and A Friend in the Snow.

I’ve already taken the leap of self-publishing my books, but getting them into the hands of readers has been much harder than I ever imagined. I recently connected with a hybrid publisher who believes in my books and has offered to help professionally publish, distribute, and market them so they can reach a much larger audience.

I’m hoping to raise $4500 to help make this next step possible and give these stories the professional opportunity they deserve. This will cover distribution worldwide AND marketing!

Writing and illustrating these books has been a dream of mine. These stories are very close to my heart, and I would love nothing more than to see them reach children and families who can enjoy them, share them, and create their own memories with them all across the world.

If you’re able to contribute, no matter the amount, you would be helping me take a huge step toward turning this dream into something bigger. And if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser, supporting an independent author, or believing in what I’m creating means more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for helping me give these little books a bigger chance to make their way into the world. ❤️📚
