  • The idea of the book, The Adventures of Bandit and Pablo, has been living in my thoughts for a very long time. Starting with the first book of a series, Bandit and Pablo are able to communicate the feelings I had as a child, the experiences I lived as an adoptive parent, and the issues I assisted many adopted children and families with as a licensed therapist.

  • I wanted to write a children’s book that gave adopted kids a character, or two, who have all the joys and happiness of a family but also provide an honest viewpoint into some of the deeper emotions adoptees can experience. So many books on adoption are from the point of view of the parents, or focus on WHY someone chooses adoption or is adopted.

  • The Adventures of Bandit and Pablo provide characters that offer the viewpoint of adoptees. These books provide characters and stories that children who are adopted can relate to and identify with. They will also have fun with the clever rhymes and beautiful illustrations..
