Presenting Walsy to kindergarten kids is always such a joy! Their curious minds and eager little voices sharing their own stories (even if they go totally off-topic!) bring so much laughter. Itās the giggles, the random events from āyesterday,ā and their big imaginations that make these moments unforgettable. š

When I first embarked on this journey, I knew very little about the publishing world. All I wanted to do was write a story that kids facing challenges - whether physical, mental, or behavioralācould see themselves in, and feel seen in a more positive light. I knew it would be a challenging path, but self-publishing was the right track for me, given my marketing background and the fact that I bounced between the creative and business world with much ease.
After almost a year of publishing āWalsy: The Red Gloveā, Iāve met so many interesting people, withnessed first hand the beaming smile on kidsā faces at the sight of a funny character going through similar challenges, and received countless heartwarming messages from parents who have found value and comfort in this series.
Walsy is still far from where I envision it to be - the road is long, messy, full of setbacks with doors that just wont open⦠but the key is out there, just have to keep looking and moving forward.
