Children’s Books
As a licensed social worker, I write children’s books about social-emotional skills, overcoming challenges, and therapy animals. I’m currently working on a children’s picture book series about coping with food allergies and another series about kindness.
My Perfect Cupcake is an inspiring picture book about coping with food allergies, geared toward children ages 3-8. It is the first book in the Fearless Food Allergy Friends book series.
My Perfect Cupcake brings a lighthearted approach to the serious topic of food allergies and emphasizes important values including perseverance, self-advocacy, resilience, and inclusion.
Dylan loves cupcakes more than anything! But when he tries a new cupcake flavor, he has an allergic reaction. A visit to the doctor reveals a tree nut allergy, and Dylan is told that he can no longer eat cupcakes from his favorite bakery. He decides to take matters into his own hands and face this challenge with determination. Follow Dylan as he bakes his amazing allergy-free cupcakes that get his classmates cheering.
At the end of the story, kids will find the recipe for a delicious, allergy-friendly cupcake that they can bake at home. There’s also a conversation starters page for children who are either coping with food allergies themselves or have a good friend who may need their support.
