I wrote a book! Celebrating my black heritage with a heartwarming story

Updated: Feb 26

I am thrilled to announce the launch of my children's book,

Yael's Whimsical Quest: Heritage Uncovered.


I decided to write, illustrate and self-publish my first ebook during Black History Month, to celebrate diversity. As a biracial individual, this book is a heartfelt exploration inspired by my own experiences.

Yael

In this charming story, meet Yael, a young adventurer born into a world of diverse cultures. Join her as she stumbles upon a hidden photo album in her attic, sparking a quest to uncover the secrets of her family's past. The soft crackling of the fireplace and the snowy landscape outside set the stage for a heartwarming adventure that will resonate with both young immigrants and native English speakers aged 6-12.


Immerse Yourself in Yael's World


As Yael delves into her family's history, the story comes alive with vibrant descriptions and sensory details. The warm aroma of freshly cooked potatoes in the kitchen, the crackling fireplace, and the gently falling snow outside create a cozy atmosphere that will transport young readers to Yael's world. Through Yael's eyes, children will experience the joy of discovery, the warmth of family, and the magic of cultural heritage.


Nestled in a town covered by fluffy snow, Yael, a child born of parents from diverse worlds, was playing in the attic of her house.
