About me
Hi! My name is Andria Williams and I'm a new Children's book author. In January 2020, my nieces who were 4 years old and 4 months old at the time, were both placed in our care. It was challenging to find children's literature to help them navigate the emotions of this transition in their life. These experiences are naturally confusing for children to understand and challenging as a caregiver to explain. I hope that my stories help bring awareness and support to families who are going through a similar situation. More than anything I hope that children who relate to this story can find hope and comfort in whatever situation they may be going through.
In addition to navigating difficult conversations, I also have a series on some of the travels we've had as a family. Travel has always been a passion of ours, we enjoy exploring new places and natural wonders. Providing these types of experiences to our children is very important to us. We hope that this story series excites your child about an upcoming adventure they may have!
