If I Were A Tree
All children benefit from inclusive education and storytelling. It allows them to identify themselves and the diverse world around them in the bedtime stories they share with their caregivers. To showcase and celebrate inclusivity for children from an early age sets them on a path of genuine discovery, appreciation, and empathy for the rest of their lives. This stories feature opportunities to discuss inclusivity, while providing equitable representations of race, religion, physical ability, family dynamic, LGBTQ+, and geographic location.
The story "If I Were A Tree" follows a young boy as he questions what it might be like to live as one of the many different types of trees he discovers at the park - only to realize that being a tree would mean missing out on the unique and special things he loves about himself and being a part of his family.
Featuring beautiful watercolor imagery and rhyming text that draws children into the story - this story structure encourages phonemic awareness, helps improve memorization, and develops comprehension of sequencing.

I have always considered myself a creative zany person, expressing my idea's through writing and art. This led me on a journey to release my first ever self-published book late September 2016. The Dragon's Reclaim series is set to be an 8-part Fantasy saga, and as I edge closer to the series end, I know that new chapters will open out for me to create a diverse range of e-books and paperbacks in the years to come.
I find myself fascinated by dragons and all thing's fantasy fiction, so, was only a matter of time before I wrote my own idea's down.
As time passed by my ideas were combined, thus creating a whole world for my character's to live in, and soon I had an entire saga spinning round in my head.
I continue to tell my fairy tale adventure, and each and every day I become more and more inspired as the adventure grows.
More recently I have delved into publishing a Crime Novel, and a double-header Fantasy set of books, which are ten times more brutal and hard-hitting than any of my previous works. (18+)
Future works will include sequels to the above, and of course the conclusion of Dragon's Reclaim. Not to mention some other fantasy genre's including Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies. Stay tuned.

It was hard for me to enjoy this book because the illustrations are so grainy, it felt like something was wrong with my eyes. Great discussion points though!
