“On the way to Neptune”, children’s picture book
What a dream come true!
I am so proud of all the hard work that I put into my very first children’s book. I loved making the water color illustrations (all old school by hand), coming up with a storyline, editing, and finally putting it all together to publish limited copies. If you would like to buy a copy order here : On the way to Neptune
And the joy in exchange for gifting some of the copies to caregivers and teachers has been nothing short of emotionally priceless.

On the Way to Neptune took us right back to our wonderful days at Neptune Nature School. Every page brought back smiles, sweet memories, and that special sense of wonder that made that time so meaningful. The story is beautifully written and illustrated, capturing the imagination and joy of childhood so perfectly. This is a book our family will treasure forever. Thank you for creating such a heartfelt story that so lovingly celebrates adventure, nature, and childhood.
A lovely story! Our 2.5y-old requested it nine times in a row after we got it. Beautifully illustrated and easy to follow, and as an added bonus I recognize the area from my time on Alameda Island
My daughter loved the book and the fun illustrations. She was so excited to receive her copy, and she read it many times over. The pace is so natural and relatable. Overall a sweet read, definitely recommended.
