Hi, I’m Mona Liza, and like you, I’m a parent doing my best to get it right. When the world felt uncertain in 2020, I began writing simple rhymes for my son, Michael Blade, to help him feel safe, understood, and loved. What started as a mother’s way of comforting her child has grown into over 40 books across different genres and categories, each one created with its own core message to support emotional literacy, kindness, and confidence in children.

As a mother, I know our greatest hope is for our children to feel safe, valued, and deeply loved. My books are more than stories. They are gentle tools that help shape how children see themselves and how they treat others, encouraging a kinder, more empathetic world for the generations growing up in today’s fast-changing, technology-driven environment. I also have a special love for playful, spooky tales, inspired by my grandmother, who always shared her love for ghost stories with me.
