I read this book to my 3-year-old son and he loved it. It’s also perfect because he is in a bug stomping phase. He got the message! ~ Mary C. S.
What i do...
I harness the written word to inspire and uplift others to the magic and wonders of nature. This website offers books written by me or that which I am a contributing author.
why I do it...
There is a saying – where there is connection, there is protection. In a time when so many have lost their connection to the natural world, I hope that through my writing I can help bridge that gap and spark a curiosity that will realign the connection with Mother Nature – for young & old alike!

This beautifully illustrated book teaches us an important lesson - everything has a purpose whether we see it or not. Bugs are easy to ignore but they play a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance within our ecosystems. Very relatable and a fun and educational read. Highly recommended!
