Shana, the Christmas Squirrel!

Join Shana as she embarks on an adventure of a lifetime to uncover the truth about the legendary Christmas squirrels. Along the way, she faces challenges, meets quirky new friends, and learns that identity is more than just appearances—it's about heart. Full of adventure, humor, and holiday magic, this heartwarming tale reminds us that we can be anything we dream of, especially during this most magical time of the year!

The Story is Written!

A special shoutout to whoever decided to put a chocolate squirrel in a Christmas advent calendar! That was the inspiration for Shana, the Christmas Squirrel. Since there weren’t any stories about Christmas squirrels, my kids and I made one ourselves!

I Submitted to Publishers!

I decided to submit Shana, the Christmas Squirrel to children's book publishers! Fingers crossed one of them takes the leap of faith to publish Shana!

The Page Plan is Next!

Books don’t just fall into place! Behind every page is careful planning — deciding where the words should go, which sentences belong together, and which deserve their own moment to shine.

Then, I'll Need an Illustrator!

The next step is hiring an illustrator and letting them bring the book to life. Stay tuned!
