Vibrant, enchanting illustrations paired with compassionate dialogue, My Awesome Family was chosen by Amazon as a classic heartwarming children’s book.
Based on a true story, My Awesome Family follows Lukas's journey from birth through age eight. As Luke grows older he wonders why he lives with Nana and Papa, not his mom and dad.
Lukas's every question, feeling, and emotion are met with age-appropriate, sensitive answers as he begins to understand a deeper meaning of the word 'family.'
"As an elementary educator in an urban setting, I work with students with diverse family structures every day. These students often struggle to see their families represented in the books they read. “My Awesome Family” does a wonderful job of representing the beauty of family that is beyond the stereotype typically represented in children’s literature."
