I’m so excited to introduce my passion project and first children’s book in the works, “Sophie’s Little Monster”. I wanted to be focusing on the stresses that some children have to face at an early age. Similar to adults, children also suffer from anxiety, depression, insecurities, and extreme shyness induced by fear. I wanted to give those children a voice, a book that they could relate to or get inspired by & to use the materials and advice Sophie took on her journey. Malakai the monster becomes Sophie’s first friend and embodies joy, free spirit, and kindness, all of which Sophie has but is buried beneath all the fear and anxiety she feels. I hope this will be an inspiring book for all the children who suffer from fear and anxiety. It will be a book filled with love and courage, a reminder that they can overcome the obstacles they face. I want them to know that they are not alone and that they can find their own strength and courage to take on any challenge.

I'm so excited to share more of Sophie & Malakai’s story with you all soon.. but in the meantime, below I've attached a sneak peek!
