I am a British African mother to a non-verbal boy with autism, who also has learning difficulties, and sensory processing disorder amongst other challenges. It has been a longtime dream and passion of mine to write and publish children's books for longer than I can remember. Then, came the birth of my son in 2011, bringing with him a unique perspective on life. In 2014, he was diagnosed with nonverbal autism amongst other challenging behaviours and since then we've been on a journey, each revealing a new facet of strength within us. 

My focus changed not from writing and publishing a children’s book but on what to write about following our struggles, challenges and life experiences. I wouldn't change my boy for the world, he's loving, sensitive, pure and warm and has taught me so many beautiful things as well as awakened my innermost emotions and strengths I never knew I had. This has led me to recently publish my first children's book titled, TINEY TINY TURNER I FEEL DIFFERENT' which is about a boy born different from his peers. It focuses on the diversity and inclusion of children with special needs and encourages our children to embrace their special different attributes because this is what makes each of them unique. It is a book which will resonate with parents, carers, teachers and kids alike. 

I have since started an eBook series called 'Help Me Series' of which the book 'Help! My Child Isn't Talking' is the first gem of the 10-part series. It is a series for young readers, teachers, caregivers, parents and educators focused on a Non-Verbal Boy called Sele and the unique journey of discovery and understanding that he and his parents go through to help their child thrive. As Sele's parents notice his developmental pace and absence of speech, they embark on a quest for answers. Join Sele's family as they unveil the reasons behind his silence, leading to a cascade of revelations illuminating all their paths. This touching children's tale weaves empathy, love, and acceptance into every word, capturing the essence of a family's devotion, resilience, growth, and the extraordinary power of finding one's voice, whether in spoken words or unspoken connections. 

This has been a heartwarming experience for us, and we would like to say ‘Thank you’ for your support and for being a part of this chapter in our journey.
