You, Me, and I
A book about love, attachment, identity, and the self we keep misplacing in other people.
You, Me, and I explores the emotional terrain between two people: the longing to be chosen, the fear of being left, the pull toward closeness, the panic of distance, and the quiet ways people trade pieces of themselves for love.
For anyone who has ever overthought a text, mistaken silence for rejection, chased reassurance, stayed too long, reached too hard, or tried to become easier to love by becoming less themselves, this book offers something sharper than comfort: recognition.
AUM
The Moment That Holds Everything
A practical guide to meditation for the Western mind.
AUM is a grounded, non-mystical guide to understanding how the modern mind actually works — and how to step out of compulsive thought without abandoning intelligence, skepticism, or daily life.
For Little Pups and Their Grown-Ups
Prudence Practices
Peace and presence for little pups and their grown-ups.
Prudence Practices follows a spirited little Cavalier named Prudence as she learns simple skills for navigating big feelings and everyday preschool challenges.
Each story gives children something concrete to practice while giving grown-ups language they can use when the big feelings arrive.
Prudence Takes a Breath
A story about hearing “no,” feeling disappointed, and finding space to choose.
Prudence already has bubbles at home. But she doesn’t have these bubbles.
When Mom says the giant bubble wand isn’t coming home, Prudence’s disappointment feels enormous. With one slow breath — and a little help from Mom — she discovers that hearing “no” can be hard, and she can still choose what happens next.
A picture book for preschoolers and their grown-ups.
Prudence and the Very Loud Day
A story about finding focus when the world around you is full of sound.
Prudence is ready to work on her paw-turkey, but the busy classroom makes it hard to concentrate. She chooses one sound to listen for and practices finding it again whenever her attention wanders.
A picture book for preschoolers and their grown-ups.
