Each time August interrupts, magic seals his lips shut! What begins as frustration becomes a funny, heart-warming journey toward patience and understanding.

 

The Day My Lips Went on Strike! is a lively children’s book about listening, empathy, and communication—reminding young readers that every friendship starts with hearing others out.

    Land Acknowledgement

    I gratefully acknowledge that I live, create, and build community in Pueblo, Colorado, on the ancestral and traditional homelands of Indigenous peoples, including the Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Apache, and Comanche Nations.

    I honor the generations of Indigenous people who have cared for this land, its waters, and its communities since time immemorial. I also recognize that Indigenous peoples are not only part of this land’s history; they remain present, living, and sovereign communities.

    As a writer, storyteller, and community builder, I accept the responsibility to keep learning, to care for the land on which I live and work, and to let gratitude be reflected not only in my words, but also in my actions.
