This post is long overdue. However, I wanted to share with those who are not yet aware, that I am a published author. In fact, I published a children’s book. The French version launched on December 24, 2021. The English version launched on March 31, 2022 (Kindle) and April 4, 2002 (Paperback).
To say that I am overjoyed is an understatement. In fact, I am beyond grateful to see something that I’ve always wanted to do, start coming to fruition. And I believe that this is just the beginning, and the best is yet to come.
About the book
Now, a little bit about the book – The main characters, Nani and Miya (my children’s nicknames) are best friends, 6 years old and in the 1st grade. Through their adventures and advice from their parents, they teach children life lessons to help them protect themselves. This will be a series of a couple of books (not sure how many yet).
Nonetheless, in this first book, Nani and Miya teach children how to protect their private body parts. My goal with this book is to raise children’s awareness about sexual abuse. Also, I want to give them tips on how to react when faced with situations of attempted abuse. Additionally, the book helps parents have conversations with their children on a very sensitive topic. But it does so in a way that does not leave children afraid of everyone.
The topic of sexual abuse on children is prevalent in our society. And to refuse to address it is to refuse to protect our children. This book is a way for me to participate in this conversation where it is already happening, and to help start it where it is still taboo.
The book is available on Amazon and is suitable for age 6 and up. If you haven’t gotten your copy yet, what are you waiting for? Please get one and most importantly let me know what you think. Leave an Amazon review and reach out to me directly.
I appreciate all the encouragements and support and look forward to the next one!
Until next time…
