📚 Sammy’s Jungle Day is Officially Published!

A Language-Rich Jungle Adventure for Young Readers

I’m beyond thrilled to share some exciting news—🎉

My debut children’s book, Sammy’s Jungle Day, is officially available now! 🐒🌿✨

This vibrant, rhyming picture book follows Sammy the Sloth as he treks slowly through the jungle, meeting a colorful cast of animal friends and learning to appreciate the little things along the way.

Whether you’re cuddled up at bedtime, leading a classroom read-aloud, or building language skills in a speech session, Sammy’s Jungle Day offers a gentle, engaging adventure for young learners.

🌟 What Makes Sammy’s Jungle Day Special?

As a speech-language pathologist, educator, author, and illustrator, I designed this book with purpose—pairing meaningful story elements with educational tools to support early development in a fun, playful way.

💬 Language-rich + Rhyme-ready

Written with rhythm and rhyme to support phonological awareness, vocabulary growth, and listening comprehension.

🧠 SLP- and educator-friendly

Intentional opportunities for:

• WH-questions

• Sequencing

• Descriptive language

• Story retell practice

Perfect for preschool classrooms, early intervention, and home libraries.

🎨 Beautifully Illustrated

Each page features hand-drawn, Procreate-style jungle scenes brought to life with expressive characters kids will love—like Tina the Toucan, Lulu the Lemur, and more!
