Mya's Magic Methods is a story that celebrates self acceptance and encourages children to be brave when experiencing BIG emotions!
As an educator and reading interventionist with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how striving readers often face not just academic hurdles, but also emotional challenges like frustration, self-doubt, and disengagement. That’s why I created Mya’s Magic Methods—a powerful children’s book that weaves social-emotional learning (SEL) into literacy development, helping young learners build resilience, self-regulation, and problem-solving skills.
Beyond the book, I offer tiered author visit packages and consulting services designed to support both students and educators:
Interactive Classroom Experience: A hands-on, small-group author session where students engage with the story through read-alouds, guided discussions, and creative problem-solving activities.
Comprehensive School Visit: A full-day experience that includes multiple classroom visits, educator workshops, and take-home resources for families.
Professional Development for Teachers: Focused training on integrating SEL strategies into literacy instruction, small-group reading interventions, and behavior management techniques ensuring your educators have the tools they need to support struggling readers.
I’d love to explore how we can tailor a program that aligns with your school's needs.

My girls loved this book. They are 8 and 9 so we are going through a phase right now dealing with and managing feelings. Little did I know this book was just the message they both needed to hear. Easy to understand and grasp the concept to apply to themselves. Highly recommend!
