"I’m passionately driven to impact who our children become. People often divide over differences, afraid of others that don't look or act like them.  I firmly believe the more diversity around us, the greater we as humans can grow. Family's don't always look alike. The word itself is evolving to define those we LOVE and who love us. Kindness, Faith, Joy, Humility, Perseverance, Growth... these are the things that define "MY" Kind of Family. We are not perfect but we get back up and keep moving forward! Mi Familia no es perfecta pero son mías! "

At "My Kind of Family" create a Family that is just like yours!

My Kind of Family began as a set of children's books that allow your child to color themselves into the main character. With empty lines for pronouns and caregiver names, the series enables a child to put their family in the story. ANY family, no matter what age, shape, size, or color of child or caregiver. Three activity books are available in this series: 

  • ​Understand How You Feel
  • Never Doubt You Are Loved
  • Include Everyone
All are still available on Amazon and by contacting the author. The second version of these books, with updated text and illustrations, will soon be available.
