Children’s Picture Books
My books are written in English and each one also has a Spanish version. I write children’s picture books to spark curiosity, kindness, and imagination in young readers. My stories, like Amara and the Escape Basket and The Hungry Bear and the Sweetest Friendship, celebrate courage, cleverness, and the joy of friendship.
is a joyful picture book for children ages 2 to 9.

Now, it’s a fun read-aloud adventure filled with teamwork, action, and love.
🍯 Story Summary: Amara and the Escape Basket In a peaceful, green village lives a clever little girl named Amara and her kind-hearted mother, Mira. Amara loves baking—especially honey cookies, warm and golden, just like her mom’s. But one day, the sweet smell of her cookies drifts into the forest and wakes a hungry bear who follows the scent right to her kitchen. He takes Amara away to bake for him forever in his treetop house! Though Amara is scared, she is also smart and resourceful. While the bear searches for ingredients, she uses her skills to build a special basket—one with a hidden escape door. This tale is full of warmth, courage, and cleverness, reminding us that real friendship isn’t taken—it’s given. And sometimes, even the wildest journeys lead back home… sweeter than ever.
