About the My Family Series
Helping Kids Understand Life’s Tough Moments—One Honest, Gentle Story at a Time
The My Family series is a heartfelt collection of picture books created to help young children ages 5–7 understand the important people, changes, and difficult situations in their lives—from saying goodbye to someone they love, to adoption, disability, PTSD, separation, and families that may look different from their friends’.
Children often know when something is wrong. They notice sadness, changes in routines, tense conversations, and worried adults—even when no one explains what is happening. When children are left out, they may create their own explanations or believe they are somehow responsible. The My Family books help adults bring children into these conversations with honesty, kindness, and language they can understand.
Told through the eyes of young children, each story offers comfort, emotional safety, and reassurance without talking down to its readers. The books give parents, grandparents, teachers, therapists, and caregivers a gentle way to begin conversations that can otherwise feel difficult to start.
These books are more than stories—they are tools for connection. They help children ask questions, understand what they are seeing and feeling, and know that they are not alone. The story opens the door; the conversation helps the family walk through it together.
I created these books after helping my own granddaughter understand grief and loss. I know how difficult it can be to find the right words. The My Family series is my way of helping other families find those words—with heart, care, honesty, and hope.

My Family – Lives with PTSD

If you're looking for a gentle way to help the little ones in your life feel seen, supported, and safe—you’ve found it.
The titles listed above are just the start of what is planned for this series. I know this, because there are many more “difficult talks” parents have with their children.
