As a mom, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges that come with raising a child who faces big emotions and everyday struggles. Like so many parents, I’ve had moments of uncertainty—wondering how to best support my child in developing confidence, resilience, and the social-emotional skills needed to thrive. Through trial, research, and real-life experience, I’ve discovered strategies that have made a difference. It is my hope that I can pass what I've learned on to you so that you may also empower your child with these tools.
​
Much like parenting itself, this book series is a labor of love and a work in progress. Each story is crafted with care, blending my personal experiences as a mom with expert-backed techniques. These books not only help children navigate challenges in a natural, engaging, and uplifting way, but they also support and empower parents—offering practical tools to guide your child with confidence.
​
My child plays a special role in shaping these stories, adding his own loving touch, humor, and perspective—making the books even more relatable for kids facing similar struggles.
​
The first book in the series, an award-winning Mom’s Choice Gold Award recipient, was created out of a deep desire to help children (and their parents) understand and manage big feelings. With each new book, I continue that mission—offering gentle, encouraging stories that inspire confidence and growth while giving families practical tools to support their children in everyday life.
​
Whether your child is navigating new experiences, facing social-emotional challenges, or simply learning to express themselves, this series is here to help—one story at a time. 💛​​

This book is great! One of the things I think separates it from everyone else is that he comes up with his own relaxation tools until he works with Cali instead of someone else telling him what to do. It really reinforces a child being able to come up with their own ideas.

From both a reader and a mom’s standpoint, this is a book that offers simple, easy-to-understand ways for children to manage these very real feelings of anger and frustration, allowing your kids to turn a horrible situation into a truly great day. This is a definite “must-read” to have in the house or the classroom.

As a dad of an 8-year-old, I’m always looking for frameworks for mental fitness that will help my son. This book is relatable to any kid that is bound to get frustrated with everyday life and helps exercise the right mental muscle to control and express their emotion. Highly recommend it for the story line and tools to help process a young mind.
