Some stories come from imagination, others from memory. Mine came from dreams.
Real dreams. The kind you wake up from in the middle of the night and can't shake.
That’s exactly how my first two children's books began.
This is my second published book for children. It started with a dream—bright, strange, and vivid. I wrote it down as a short story the next morning. Later, I turned it into a rhythmic poem. Eventually, that poem became a fully illustrated children’s book filled with colorful characters and a magical message.
Jake’s adventure is sweet and silly, but it also teaches something real: the importance of listening, making good choices, and owning up to your mistakes. I created all the illustrations using Photoshop and Illustrator, focusing on fun, candy-colored visuals that kids would love.
The book is now available on Amazon, in paperback.
This was the very first children's book I ever published. It tells the story of Claudio, a small cloud who feels invisible among bigger, bolder clouds. But as he travels across the sky, Claudio learns that being different can be your greatest strength.
This story is soft and hopeful. It encourages young readers to embrace who they are, no matter what.
The illustrations are all in gentle pastel tones, and I designed everything from scratch, from the first sketch to the final page. It was my first experience publishing through Amazon KDP, and it taught me how to bring a full creative vision to life.
For both books, the process was almost identical.
I dreamed them.
Then wrote them down as stories.
Then shaped them into poems.
Then imagined how they would look, scene by scene, character by character.
Using Photoshop and Illustrator, I designed and colored every detail.
After that, I formatted everything for print and Kindle and uploaded it all to Amazon KDP.
The journey from dream to finished book was long and personal, but seeing kids enjoy them today makes it all worth it.
I’m currently developing several more stories. Each one comes from a deep place—whether it’s a childhood memory, a real-life experience, or another dream I couldn’t ignore.
This will be a collection of short illustrated stories, each one inspired by a different dream I’ve had. It’s a way to capture the raw, mysterious energy of dreaming and turn it into stories for all ages.
This one is about friendship and care. A girl named Celine loves her dog, Milo. When Milo gets sick, Celine stays by his side. Later, when Celine falls ill, Milo stays by hers. It’s a gentle, honest story about love, patience, and always being there for each other.
This one is still forming. It comes from a real moment: a bee flew next to me, then fell and started dying right before my eyes. I tried to help it. It broke my heart.
That moment happened the day my father passed away. I’m not yet sure what story I’ll tell from it, but I know it’s an important one. A metaphor. A memory. A message I’m still discovering.
This will be my biggest and most personal book.
Princess Mia tells the story of a little girl who gets very sick and stays in the hospital. Her mom, Freya, comforts her with a magical tale passed down through their family. It’s the story of Sandra, Mia’s great-grandmother, who once walked into a dark forest and met a mysterious creature called the Pooka. As Sandra’s journey unfolds, it mirrors what Mia is going through in the hospital.
This book is about courage, love, and the way stories help us through pain.
It was first imagined during a conversation with Wajd Raddaoui about illness and childhood. Later, I rewrote it while remembering my own health struggles as a child, and the stories and imagination that helped me stay strong.
Princess Mia will launch by the end of this year.
It will be the hardest book I’ve ever made—visually and emotionally—but also the one closest to my heart.
Turning dreams into books is strange and beautiful. Sometimes it feels like pulling stars from the sky and turning them into words and pictures.
I don’t know where these stories will go, but I know I have many more to tell.
If even one of them brings comfort, laughter, or a bit of wonder to a child, then the dream was worth having.
I don’t just make things look good. I make them work.Websites, brands, films and stories built to connect and built to last.
