PRAISE FOR THE STORMY NORMY CHILDREN'S SERIES
'Our little hero is forced to navigate the challenges of life from facing abandonment to overcoming bullying and what makes him unique. It's an inspiring adventure that is not just about a colt finding his forever home, but is also about the universal lessons of resilience, self discovery and the importance of being true to yourself.' Glenda Fordham for The Rider
'This tale not only captivates with its narrative but also subtly imparts valuable life lessons. It teaches children self-acceptance and coping with bullies and stress by using the power of positive self-talk and distracting from their problems with self-questioning and breathing techniques. As a child who suffered bullying during high school, I wish I had a human version of Jacqueline, the wise old mare in this story, to give me this advice. I look forward to seeing Stormy Normy's tale continue.' Amazon Review, Vikstar
'I read your book and loved it!!! Brought a tear or 100 to my eye. It's very relatable as the techniques for anxiety and stress are exactly what I was taught to do. I'm sad I finished it and can't wait for the next one! Congratulations on such an achievement and now I'm craving a big stormy cuddle!' Johanna
