I was inspired to write these books to help others deal with difficult situations and help make the world a kinder place. Oliver was born out of the grief of losing our dog, along with other losses in a short time. Grief is a very personal journey and we all have to travel the road as best as we can. It is a comfort to know that they are always with us and to feel their presence.
These books are ideal for anyone interested in finding ways to help children learn to accept and process feelings that may be new to them or confusing. Boo Gets Scared Too, walks the reader through different situations that may cause fear or uncertainty. Boo provides the tools and a toolbox to help children work through their fears and learn to manage and overcome difficult situations.

Marina has worked with children for over five years in preschool and in home settings. In the home, Marina was a Nanny for children ages 2-8. In both settings, Marina learned just how much art and pictures impact how children learn and process their thoughts and emotions.
When Marina paints now, she imagines what a child would see. Marina tries to invoke certain emotions with the colors and brush strokes to help people really feel something when they look at her art. After all, children have the purest way of experiencing the world, and as much as we teach them, we can also learn from them.
Let’s talk about loss, feelings, emotions, grief, and hope - and how we can bring comfort to children coping with sadness or loss. I welcome your thoughts, questions, and experiences. Sharing positive tips and resources that support the emotional well-being of our children is a win for everyone!
