Heart-led parents and teachers want to affect positive change in the lives of children. In order to do that, they need wholesome tools to support them, and children’s characters that they can trust. But the problem in today’s world is that young children have devices constantly thrown at them that tell them how to think and what to think, and cause them to lose their creativity and critical processing skills. Even their story books bombard them with mixed messages and agendas which leaves them feeling confused and anxious, leaves parents feel helpless and alone, like they are fighting a losing battle for the hearts and minds of their kids.

I believe that children should be free to explore their childhood with wonder and innocence. As a mother and an artist, I have found that when creativity is nourished in a child, it becomes a foundational building block that carries them successfully through adulthood. That’s why I started a series of children’s books about the charming character of Gumper the Rabbit, a relatable hero who teaches love, bravery, and the strength of being different. Each hand-illustrated story is not just a work of art, but also a work of heart. My mission is to provide parents with peace of mind today and create kids with compassionate hearts tomorrow.
