Flip was a wonderfully unique little fish. His story, brought to life with my good friend and illustrator, Wendy, began my journey as an author, leading to two published books and the possibility of more stories to come.
The Story Behind Flip
Flip was inspired by a real fish at our school. My husband, Kevin, cared for the fish, and together we watched Flip spend months learning to swim from the bottom of the tank to the top for food. His determination and unique behavior inspired a story about perseverance, growth, and celebrating what makes us different.
The Lesson Behind Flip
Believe in yourself. Keep trying. Discover what you can do.
The Inspiration for Chill
Chill was inspired by the pond and turtles at XIS. A special place where people gather, feed the animals, and enjoy the little community that forms around the pond. With encouragement from my good friend and illustrator, Wendy, those everyday moments became the inspiration for Chill.
