Wishing Star Publishing releases inclusive picture books for kids & early learning books

05/05/2025

I can finally share - MASTERPIECE will soon be available in Scholastic book fairs and book clubs!

✨This is an absolute dream. In all honesty, I’m still pinching myself. At the beginning of my journey, if you had told me I’d be here, I never would have believed you. I’m still in disbelief. Thank you to anyone who has supported me along this path.

📸If you happen to see Masterpiece on the shelves of a book fair or in a book order, make sure to snap a pic and tag me. And, if you have it in your heart to grab a copy, that would be amazing! I’d love to see how far this special book travels.

I am thrilled to share the cover of my next book!

Book Blurb:

Jasmine loves stories and wants to create her own! Unfortunately, when it comes time to read and write, she struggles. When her teacher asks the class to write a creative story, Jasmine decides to tell her story in her own way and creates a wordless story.

A perfect book to introduce kids to the many ways we tell stories, Sparkle celebrates a child with dysgraphia and dyslexia who thinks outside the box!

📚Stay tuned for more details including sneak previews of the illustrations, a launch team sign-up and the story behind the story.
