PICK A TISSUE, NOT YOUR NOSE

Children’s Book

Twenty years ago, as a first-grade Teacher,

I knew I wanted to write a book to help kids stop picking their noses.

Ten years ago, I finally started writing it.

Since then, I’ve pulled it out, added a little, then tucked it away—again and again.

But this time? I’m finishing it. I’m sharing it with the world.

It’s scary. It’s exciting. And honestly, I can’t do it alone.

If you’ve ever had a dream sitting in a drawer waiting for “someday,” let’s do this together.
Because finishing what we start is how dreams come to life.

I’d love to invite you to support the launch of my book, meet the adorable main character JoJo, and listen to the catchy, sing-along song I created to go with the story. It’s fun, easy to remember, and kids are going to love it!

MY FIRST EVER!

Pick a Tissue, Not Your Nose

This fun and lighthearted book uses humor and silly scenarios to teach kids the importance of hygiene. Designed to help parents and teachers tackle this habit in an engaging way, it also encourages a love for reading—one child at a time! 

Wait, there’s more! To add to the fun, I also created a silly, catchy song that kids love to sing along with — it reinforces the message in a way that’s entertaining and memorable!
