This is not my first book award. Stuck in Bed: The pregnancy bed rest picture book for kids … and moms won a few awards including a Purple Dragonfly Award and the prestigious Mom’s Choice Award in 2018.

I’m very proud of my writing for many reasons, but mostly because it comes from my heart. Each line, in each of my three books shares our real-life experiences. My hope has always been that someone in need will read one of my books and feel less alone. A high-risk pregnancy, premature delivery and NICU stay is lonely and it brings me joy when someone reaches out to me to let me know that I helped them with my writing.
