I wrote, illustrated, and designed The Courageous Charlie picture book in 2018.

Being a tale about accepting differences through self-confidence and bravery, the goal of The Courageous Charlie was to show the beauty of our individual unique qualities through a nostalgic narrative and traditional watercolor and ink illustrations. It's a charming story about how a disabled, grey cat named Charlie learns to find his place in a new family home. With the help of a one-eyed maine coon, Charlie learns to celebrate his diversity as a unique strength of individuality while teaching others about diversity, kindness, and family.

The Courageous Charlie is a compassionate, educational tale for all ages to learn from.
