Background
Information
Princess Pink is a true friend to every girl who needs the help of a friend at any given time. Princess Pink is a girl who incorporates respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, trustworthiness and citizenship which are called the rings of honor that are braided in her hair. My stories are filled with fairy-tale settings, but include several issues that in reality girls face in their lives.
I was inspired by my students over the years that I taught that would come to me for help and advice. I would always find books for them but they were only filled with definitions and terms. However, I felt it was important for children to have self-help children books with storylines so they could have a better understanding on a childs level.
My books are filled with colorful illustrations and content that is humorous , and light hearted for children who are facing serious issues that occur in their lives. In addition, my activity books and audio are great supplements to incorporate with each book.
Coming Soon.............
I am researching on a new character that helps boys
