🐾 Introducing Graizee and Bumble – A Story of Unlikely Friendship

There’s something truly magical about the friendships that find us when we least expect them. That’s the heart behind Graizee and Bumble, my newest children’s picture book—a gentle tale about a playful yellow Lab and a brave little bumblebee who discover that joy, kindness, and connection can bloom in the most surprising ways.

Told in soft rhyme and brought to life with dreamy watercolor illustrations, Graizee and Bumble follows these two unlikely friends through golden fields, games of hide-and-seek, and peaceful starry skies. It's a story about slowing down, noticing the beauty in everyday moments, and embracing love in all its forms—even if it buzzes a little differently than we expect.

This book was born out of my love for simple, heartfelt stories that make kids feel seen and safe. As a parent, artist, and advocate for emotional growth and empathy, I wanted to create something that would feel like a hug at the end of the day. Something tender and timeless.

Whether you're reading it as a bedtime story or gifting it to a little one who needs a gentle reminder that they are never alone, Graizee and Bumble offers more than just a tale—it offers connection.
