Laurie believes books, especially fiction, have great power in helping children process hard situations and big emotions. She has not only witnessed it in the lives of her own children, who experienced the loss of friendships and a lack of stability due to frequent moves, but also in the classroom during her time as a Kindergarten teacher.

Bringing her own fantastical worlds to life to share with children everywhere has been a life long desire.
