👱🏼‍♀️I am an educator, author and founder. 💜I am passionate about teaching young children about kindness. ➡️My goal is to see social and emotional learning taught along side academic subjects in schools. 👯‍♂️HeyMama 🐶 The Big World of Little Dude is a character-driven series to help young children develop social and emotional literacy skills. Inspired by the real-life adventures of an adorable emotional support dog, Little Dude is a model of compassion and kindness. Following his lead, his best friend Little Bird learns the skills and behaviors she needs to be friendly, peace-filled, and to find joy! Parents, caregivers, and teachers will enjoy reading the adventures of Little Dude aloud to young children just learning to navigate social experiences.
