A New Chapter Begins
I’m thrilled to officially launch Root to Bloom Books, a space dedicated to creating engaging, meaningful stories that help children grow—both in imagination and in life skills. Our first adventure, Popsicles in Space, is just the beginning of this journey, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
As a parent and an educator, I’ve spent years navigating the challenges of executive function skills—both in the classroom and at home. I know what it’s like to see a bright, creative child struggle with organization, self-regulation, and impulse control, and I also know how powerful the right strategies and support can be.
Why Root to Bloom?
Children don’t develop executive function skills overnight—it’s a process, much like growing a garden. At Root to Bloom Books, my goal is to plant the seeds of self-regulation, problem-solving, and perseverance through stories that make learning fun.
Just like Popsicles in Space takes kids on an imaginative journey while subtly teaching planning, flexibility, and perseverance, future books will explore more ways to help kids build strong executive function skills in a playful, relatable way.
More Than Just a Story—A Resource for Parents
But this isn’t just about books. Root to Bloom Books is here to support parents and caregivers with practical strategies that can be applied at home. Alongside each story, I’ll be sharing:
Easy-to-use tools to reinforce executive function skills in daily life Conversation starters to help children connect with the lessons in the book Resources for parents looking for practical ways to navigate challenges like emotional regulation, transitions, and focus.
Join the Journey
If you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver looking for engaging, purposeful books that do more than entertain, I invite you to follow along. There’s so much more to come—new stories, helpful insights, and a community of parents supporting each other.
Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to grow alongside you!
Let’s plant the seeds for success, one story at a time.
