As a mother to four grown boys, Michelle is passionate about writing captivating children's stories on the importance of social acceptance, kindness, and life lessons.

Her books focus on friendship, love, and self-awareness blossoming in a world that children understand.

Her warm-hearted approach to writing and whimsical use of watercolour illustrations connect with young creative minds, inspiring children of all ages.

The message she conveys is simple yet powerful: "When we release our fear of the unknown and our preconceived notions, we free our hearts to find true friendship, to love, and to grow."

The moment when an fresh Idea sparks, the pen comes out and the first draft is in ink. Its exciting to feel and watch the idea grow into the story.
