Feeling Right
Emily’s first children’s book, Feeling Right, is a colorful story set in the Sub-Saharan plains of Africa. Meeting at a watering hole, the story follows the woes of five African animals: a hippopotamus, monarch butterfly, hornbill, lion, and toad. Aimed toward younger elementary students, the book tackles the issue of body positivity in a fun, entertaining, and educational way. Emily hopes to self publish her book soon, with plans to write and illustrate many more books in the future!
