Looking for books that teach children valuable lessons?
You are not here by coincidence.
Shaping the minds and characters of young readers through wholesome story-telling one book at a time.
Hi, I am Negrita, your children’s book author.
A small-town girl from Alabama, I am a believer, wife, sister, and teacher at heart. I am a best-selling, award-winning children’s book author and the first of my family to graduate from college. All accomplishments are shared with my supportive family.
As an author, I have a passion for reaching young people one book at a time to teach them valuable life lessons. My characters are created to share messages of kindness, love, and togetherness. Although, my books teach lessons targeted towards young readers, these are lessons we are never too old to learn.

“Grace and the Golden Rule was magnificent. Not only was the book full of color, but the situations in the book taught a lesson that is often forgotten in today’s society. Thank you for such an inspiring book that hopefully can teach not only our youth but communities of men, women, and children in general about being thoughtful of others.”
