It fills me with so much joy to finally pause and share something truly special—my newly released book, Calm Kit Chronicles: An Interactive Book on Coping with Emotions at School
Calm Kit Chronicles
An Interactive Book on Coping with Emotions at School
I’m beyond excited to share my debut book with you—a heartfelt project that’s been a labor of love and inspiration. The Calm Kit Chronicles is more than just a book; it’s an interactive journey designed to help kids unlock the magic of their emotions and discover the power they hold within.

Along the way, they’ll build their very own Calm Kit—a treasure chest of strategies and tools to navigate life’s big feelings with confidence and creativity.
This book is for kids, parents, and educators alike, offering a world where emotions are celebrated, and managing them feels like an adventure. Whether it’s building tools for self-soothing, learning to express feelings, or gaining independence over emotional challenges, The Calm Kit Chronicles has something magical to offer every young reader.

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a passionate writer, my work has always been centered around helping children navigate the complexities of social interactions. The idea for this book stemmed from the many short stories I created for my clients—stories designed to help them understand and manage various social situations at school. Over time, I noticed a pattern: many of the children I worked with struggled to identify and express their own emotions, making it difficult for them to connect with others. This realization inspired me to craft a story that could serve as both a tool and a source of comfort, offering children a way to see themselves reflected in its pages and equipping them with the language to express what they feel.
Calm Kit Chronicles officially hit the shelves back in November, the past few months have been such a whirlwind of love, support, and heartfelt moments. The timing of my book’s release, right in the heart of the holiday season, made for unforgettable memories. Every gathering felt like a moment of recognition—not just for the book itself, but for the journey that led to it. My family and friends rallied around me in the most incredible ways. My sister-in-law surprised me with a “signing party” for my niece and nephews, where I got to watch their excitement as they flipped through the pages and asked questions about the stories. My mom was the very first to purchase a copy, and I happened to be at her house when it arrived. Watching her unwrap it and hand it to me to hold for the first time was a moment I’ll always cherish. My dad took pride in making sure my book reached as many hands as possible, gifting copies to friends and family and sharing in the joy of its release. One of the most touching moments came when a client brought her copy to a session and, with tears in her eyes, read the dedication page aloud to me. That moment reminded me why I wrote this book in the first place—to create something meaningful that resonates with others.
Now, with a heart full of gratitude, I’m ready to share this journey with my local communities and, hopefully, even beyond.
In December, I created my author’s page to house everything about my book, providing a central space for updates and direct access. Check it out! I also set up my author’s page on Goodreads, where readers can find and review my book. Check it out here. In January and February, a few local libraries picked up my book, and it is now available for checkout at four branches, making it accessible to even more readers. This month marks an exciting milestone with my first book event on the calendar. I’m also connecting with local businesses—bookstores, cafes, and libraries—to plan future events and create more opportunities to engage with local readers.
In the next couple of months, I’ll be focusing on local outreach opportunities. I’m eager to create opportunities for meaningful discussions and workshops focused on emotional intelligence and social development. And of course, this is just the beginning—there are more stories waiting to be told, and I’m looking forward to continuing this journey.
To everyone who has supported me along the way, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This book is as much yours as it is mine, and I’m so grateful to share it with you.
Yours in Support,

Congratulations on your book release. I applaud anything that’ll get young ones off these devices, and I love the way you are helping them to understand and deal with their emotions.
