Thank you for visiting my website, you're more than welcome to stick around and explore the place.
​
As an educator and writer, I've observed that the bond between parent and child is strengthened when parents read with little ones.
As these children grow up, throughout life's ups and downs, memories of those precious moments of reading together serve as a foundation that provides stability, bolsters inner confidence, and enhances self-esteem.
This is one reason for my decision to write books for children, and it's why I encourage parents to read with their young ones as much as they can.

MY CURRENT PROJECT:

On a Treasure Hunt for Words
a book by Ramona Thomas

My journey into the world of Children's Literature began with my very first children's book, On a Treasure Hunt For Words. ​The book is the first in a series that follows the adventures of a curious four-year-old girl named Jetta.
 In this first book, Jetta visits her grandparents for the summer and comes in contact with a book that changes her life: a dictionary.
A curious and imaginative kid, Jetta is fascinated by the unfathomable amount of information contained in this "new" book! She decides to spend every remaining day of her summer vacation on a treasure hunt for some of the words found in the dictionary. 
My hope is that children between the ages of 4-7 are drawn to the book's vivid illustrations and encouraged to imitate Jetta's love for learning.
