My Adventure Journey
Story time has always been my favourite part of my day activities. My love for books started when I was growing up - my mother read me stories pretty much all my life and still do to this day.
Every time we go to the mall, it is tradition for us to check out the book stores. One day whilst in one of the bookstores, I asked my mom who writes children’s books and if it were possible to have my own book in the store. My mother said that most children’s books are written by adults, but, if I wanted to have my own book in the stores, I would need to tell my own stories.
I love adventure and this inspired me to tell my own adventures stories. My stories are creative and inspired by my own imagination and some everyday life experiences and interactions.
Since my first book, The Oceanic Oxy Rescue Mission, I have since recorded many more stories on my Mom’s phone. These must still be published.
