Best Friends got some great attention from The Children's Book Review!

Best Friends: A Tale of a Boy and His Dog ✨🐾
Life is circular. At the beginning of Best Friends, the loyal dog sleeps beside the little boy, gently resting his paw on the boy’s hand. Years later, the boy returns the favor for his aging friend. The inside pages show the development of their friendship and the meaning of unconditional love. 🐾💛That’s the heart of Best Friends: A Tale of a Boy and His Dog. More to come soon! Let me know what you think.

🐾📚 Best Friends: A Tale of a Boy and His Dog.📚🐾
As we get closer to the release of my new children’s book, Best Friends: A Tale of a Boy and His Dog, I wanted to share a picture of the inspiration behind it. The story was inspired by the simple, powerful bond between my Grandson, Oliver, and his dog, Mully—the loyal friend who follows him everywhere, waits by the door, and grows up by his side. It’s a story about friendship, loyalty, and the kind of love only a dog can teach us to give.

Christmas in July can bring back sweet memories—and sometimes, a little heartache. For families who have lost someone special, the holidays can be bittersweet.

That’s why I created Christmas Sun—a tender, comforting children’s book that introduces a beautiful tradition for remembering loved ones through the warmth of a special ornament.

Set in the snowy world of a polar bear family, this story helps children hold onto love, even after loss.

Because even in July… love shines on.

Christmas Sun: A Beautiful Tradition to Remember Grandma
Available now on Amazon for families, classrooms, and anyone navigating grief with little ones.
