Welcome to my Website
My stories highlight some of the challenges children with disabilities may encounter.
Inspired by my late son, Leigh, who passed away suddenly in 2016 from complications related to his disability, at the age of 33 years.
They are dedicated to Leigh and other children with disabilities for their courage, strength,
and determination.



Little Parachutes
"Squishy Sand has been awarded a Gold Star by Little Parachutes for the highest quality and most helpful book in their library.
This engaging picture book features Leigh, a disabled child who uses a wheelchair. It highlights some of the everyday obstacles that wheelchair users have to cope with. A great choice for any child, reinforcing the importance of empathy, resilience, teamwork, kindness, and creative thinking."
