My Children Were My Inspiration
A Monster Ate My Mom follows a little girl who wakes up to discover something is not right in her home, and finds her mom eating her siblings. What was the inspiration for your story?
My children were my inspiration. They are always wanting a “homemade” story. This was a spur of the moment story I made up one morning, while juggling all the chores of being a mom!
What were some educational aspects that were important for you to include in this children’s book?
It’s very important to me that unconditional love was shown/taught through this story. Moms (and dads) can become tired and worn out, and children may see them replaced with a “monster.” This story shows how love is unconditional by both mom and her children!
What were some of your inspirations as a writer?
I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I have so many favorite authors. I think the biggest inspirations would have been not only my own children, but also my parents, sister, and teachers. The individuals who always believed in me.
What is the next children’s book that you are working on, and when will it be available?
I have My next book written, I just have to have it illustrated! So TBD.

Has their loving mom been replaced by a monster?
A Monster Ate My Mom is a whimsical tale that shows young readers just how real some dreams can feel. I enjoyed how grounded this story felt, in that, it felt like a dream any child can have, and the response the little girl had to the dream the next morning was heartwarming.
This is a breezy children’s book that is easy to pick up and read as a bedtime story or a fun treat for kids who love to read. The vibrant illustrations are sure to capture young readers’ attention throughout this delightful book.
This charming picture book will have elementary-aged kids feeling a roller coaster of emotions that will leave them tickled and touched in equal measure.
