Hi, I’m Renee – Children’s Book Author and Educational Freelance Writer!
I am a Special Ed. and Early Years trained teacher with post graduate studies in Positive Psychology.
I am passionate about writing children’s books that promote life-long learning, social inclusion and improve self-esteem. Check out my two picture books Rosie Leads the Way and The Strongest Boy.
I am also available as a freelancer to write online articles, blogs, product reviews and educational literature.

“The Strongest boy is a delightful picture book explores the notion of how to be a strong boy. Rather than just using physical strength that often hurts others sometimes accidentally, Max learns better ways of being strong using his mind and his words. This is such an important message to share with all young children.”
Rosie Leads the way is a sweet story with an important message, ‘beautiful’ is about being strong, smart and kind, not superficially ‘pretty’. A lovely way to encourage engagement with children about positive values and self-image.

This book skilfully shatters the delusion of the ‘perfect princess’ and empowers girls to see their real beauty, being smart, strong and kind. This is an important message that we need to instil in our girls from a young age to counteract the inevitable pressure that […]
“What does ‘strong’ really mean in a world of faster, bigger, brighter? The Strongest Boy picture book explains to young people in a simple language what ‘the other strong’ means and how it can positively affect people around us. “The Strongest Boy” can be a first step into clean masculinity”.
“The Strongest Boy is a beautiful story to help children be the best they can be and make great choices with their friends. Max’s story shows children how small changes can make a huge difference.”
