hands for helping
This story is based on experiences my child and I have had. We love to cook together, and she has been helping me since she was two. This story is about spending time with the ones you love. And even when they are small, they can help. I want to use her artwork as the cover.
Sandy's life in the park
A book that shares the events of a day in the life of the bird family that lives at the park. Things that they see and hear. Perhaps something they can take to the park and read while at the park themselves.
In the garden to grow
In the Garden to Grow, Mama and her little one dig, water, and wait—learning the magic of patience and care. Along the way, bees, butterflies, and dragonflies teach that every living thing has a role, and even the smallest effort can bring the biggest joy.
Dory the donkey
Dory was born on a cold winter night—small, fragile, and much quieter than the other donkeys. While donkeys usually bray loudly to protect the farm, Dory’s voice is just a whisper. Farmer Ed worries she is too small and shy to help, but when a pack of wolves threatens her friends, Dory must find the courage to be a hero.
rocks in mama's purse
A shared love for rocks binds a father and his daughter in the simplest way. One day at daycare, she carefully collected a few special stones from the playground—treasures she couldn’t leave behind. Wanting to keep them safe, she tucked them into her mother’s purse, the perfect hiding place in her mind.
Teena Marie
Collins
I was born in a small town in Georgia. I have been blessed with three kids, three nieces, two nephews, and several great nephews. My family is my world and all of them have helped me to create wonderful memories and a blessed life. They have kept me on my toes and kept laughter in my heart. God placed a dream in my heart several years ago to write a child’s book. I didn’t quite know how I would do this. When I lost my corporate job at age 51, I knew now was the time. God kept bringing it up again and again over the past couple of years. I am proof it is never too late to make a dream happen. And now to think young children and parents are reading my books together, is such a blessing to my heart. I am forever grateful. And hope that my books are a blessing to anyone who reads them.
