My stories are told from the perspective of my cat Emma. (Yes, she is a real cat, see below). I feel like a cat is the perfect perspective for these kinds of stories because children can relate easily to a precious, fuzzy animal. Cats are like children in the way that they have an imperfect understanding of an adult's universe, including the language barrier. They approach the world like children: with curiosity and an inimitable desire to experience things and learn.

My children's books are about acknowledging life experiences: things that are scary, happy, sad, and joyful. And even if there are trials to overcome, the writing gives you a valuable lesson, a bit of wisdom to take with you into the future, and some humor!

I believe that most children 's books are "dumbed down", and my philosophy is to teach children more words in order to cater to their budding intellects. The books will explain the more complicated words, and it’s recommended that you read them with your child (initially) to answer any questions they might have.

When children learn more precise words, their language skills improve: they speak better, sound more intelligent, and are able to express their thoughts better.

In my books, I also try to introduce an awareness of other cultures, other languages, and peoples. Our society is becoming increasingly global, and children should be aware of the manifold cultures of the world and their contribution to the richness of experience.
