Okalani and Teal.

Okalani and Teal is my first children's book. One of my passions is to make people feel good and I know the importance of healthy self-esteem and loving yourself, because then you can give your best to others. I have never known a bully who is confident or happy within themselves, so let's feed children's minds on the good.

This is what my book aims to do. I wanted to reach children because they are the adults of tomorrow and realising that they have invaluable worth and that helping out others actually elevates themselves!

Okalani and Teal is a children's picture book focusing on two main characters; Teal the turtle and Okalani the oyster. Readers are taken on a journey with Teal who has made it his mission to help others who may feel how he once felt - different and alone. Okalani and Teal emphasise the importance of knowing how special you are and that being different is something to be embraced!

I believe my book has a lot of heart, but is also a delight for your eyes, thank you to Richard Gomer Vivas, the illustrator. We worked together and he was able to translate the story into illustrations and I think he did an amazing job - better than I had expected (and I was expecting a lot from his previous work)! The story is also told in rhyme, which I think really adds a layer of fun and forces the reader into a rhythm, which I think the children listening will enjoy.Okalani and Teal is available on Amazon worldwide and if you have any children who could benefit from my message, I would very much appreiciate it if you purchased my book and let me know how they like it!
