"It’s an uplifting story, perfect for parents, teachers and any adult encouraging children to read and deal with life’s ups and downs." - Kris Rondon, Readers' Favorite

Welcome to LaLa's World: Where kids learn how to be the change!

In this newly released children's book, "LaLa Feels Blah-La," a young girl and her stuffed bear wake up feeling blah for no apparent reason. LaLa's mom teaches her to be mindful of her feelings and turn her mood around with the flip of a coin. Perfect for young readers, LaLa Feels Blah-La , teaches children to be more mindful of their feelings and manage their mood swings.


As a mom of four daughters who is committed to natural and mindful living, I was inspired to write "LaLa’s World" after over a decade of reading countless popular children’s books and realizing that only a handful of stories truly serve to impart spiritual wisdom. My intention with this series was to write something in the same vein as Dr. Wayne Dyer’s children’s books and bestsellers "Incredible You!" and "Unstoppable Me!" that will help my daughters and other children better understand how their beliefs manifest their realities so they can grow up to be the change they wish to see in the world.


It’s important that we all understand our individual power to effect change for the better. A small gesture of kindness, a smile or even a positive thought will reverberate through the universe elevating the energy of all beings. My hope with the LaLa’s World Book Series is that parents and children alike will learn to use their gifts to bring more light to the world.

In a tiny town called Tinsel, there lived a little girl named Doodle. She and her grandparents, Mimi and Paw-Paw, lived on a farm where there were lots of fun things to do. Every day after school, Doodle's friends would stop by the farm to see what new creation her grandfather had made for them to play with. He was very handy at making unusual toys from junk laying around the barn and the children loved playing there. This was especially exciting at this time of year, as Christmas was coming soon! One wintery afternoon, Doodle and her friends decided to go on an adventure through the woods to find a beautiful Christmas tree. Bundled up and wearing heavy coats, the children made their way through snowy forest. It wasn't long before they noticed something very unusual at the bottom of a hill. It was a rusty old trailer with a sign that just said, "Magic". The real adventure begins when the broken, little trailer is rescued.
