BLACK CHILDREN’S BOOK WEEK (Feb 22–26) is almost here! 📚✨
This week is all about stories where children feel seen, brave, and inspired.
I’m a retired Air Force Command Chief turned children’s author, and I write books that help kids, especially our military kids, navigate deployments with courage, comfort, and confidence. 🇺🇸💜
I’ll have a wide selection of children’s books available, including Operation Kid Deployment Day, created to help children process separation and big emotions with support and hope.
Come browse, chat, and find a story your child will love!
