Purple Dragonfly Award
Recently in 2024, I had the honor of being given the Purple Dragonfly Book Award for my book "Raphael Raccoon Makes Mistakes". This is a a worldwide book competition that I am truly honored to have recieved. ​

 Raphael is a great role model for kids and teaches kids, in a fun way, about important topics like how to learn from mistakes and how to treat everyone with kindness and respect. I highly recommend these books for teachers, parents, and mental health professionals who work or have school aged children.

 As a kindergarten teacher, I spend time teaching children how to express their feelings in a safe, healthy way. These books have been an invaluable tool in helping me do just that. They would be a great addition to any classroom library.
