It is difficult to give children a sense of security unless you have it yourself. If you have it, they catch it from you. – William C. Menninger, M.D.
I love Z’s imagination and sense of adventure that is typical of toddlers. I hope that she’ll have these qualities childhood and beyond.
She’s learning to make her way to the side of the road and look for cars. Once she sees a car she stops, makes sure she’s on the side of the road, and holds my hand – at least that’s what we’re practicing!
When I doodle, whether it be swirls or figurines, I am transformed to a world in which my doodles live, and my thoughts become clear. My mind breathes.
I used to teach second grade. Now, I am a Stay-At-Home-Mother to three girls, an Atlanta based children-family-lifestyle photographer, and an author of Lailah’s Lunchbox (Tilbury House Publishing, 2015.) I have two new picture books projected for 2019: Amira's Picture Day (Holiday House, 2019) and Let Me Show You The Way (Eerdmans, 2019)!
Thank you for stopping by!
