Stories Worth Telling
From a children's book written for my daughter to a memoir I had to finish before I could breathe again, these are the stories I couldn't keep to myself.

Meadow and Her Four-Leaf Clover Heart
This book started with a little girl and a heart that works differently than most.
Meadow was born with tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary atresia, a set of four congenital heart defects. As her mom, I spent years searching for stories that reflected her experience; books that showed kids like her being celebrated, not just surviving. When I couldn't find enough of them, I wrote one.
Meadow and Her Four-Leaf Clover Heart is a story about what makes us different, what makes us brave, and why four-leaf clovers are worth searching for. It's for every child who has ever felt like their story needed a little extra explaining, and for every parent who has ever had to find brave when they weren't sure they had any left.
the imprint
Little Clover Press
After navigating the publishing process myself, I realized I had something worth sharing; not just a finished book, but a whole framework. Little Clover Press is a children's book publishing imprint built around one idea: inclusive stories deserve a real home.
The imprint exists for authors writing about characters who look, live, or love differently. Kids with medical differences, chronic conditions, neurodiversity, and lives that don't always get the page time they deserve. I've built the infrastructure (the ISBN, the formatting standards, the editorial and illustration connections) so you don't have to start from scratch.
At a business conference last year, I mentioned this almost as a side note. Nine people came up to me afterward asking how they could be part of it. If you have a story that deserves to exist, I'd love to hear about it.
