Exciting News! I’m publishing a series of social emotional children and parent picture books, Hank and Frank!

This Series of Social Emotional Learning books is dedicated to the real Hank and Frank — Henry and Frankie, my dear son and our dog. As Henry grows up, we’ve learned to face challenges with curiosity and a mindset of growth. When we meet a hard moment, we pause and ask ourselves: What coping tools can help us through this? 

We remind ourselves that growing up — and learning — is full of challenges, mistakes, and moments that can be hard, messy, and beautiful all at once. Through it all, we’ve discovered that every tough moment can also be a chance to learn, grow, and find strength together. 

These Hank and Frank stories were created from that journey — to share what we’ve learned and to help others move through their own hard and messy moments in healthy, hopeful ways. 

May these stories help you feel empowered, resilient, and reminded that learning and growing are adventures we never take alone.
