“I am an Author/Illustrator of Children’s Picture Books. I have also been a Learning Support Officer in the Catholic Primary School system for seven years. Since I was a child, it has been my dream to illustrate children’s picture books. In 2010 my dream came true when my first book “Gina the Dancing Queen” was published. This popular book is still selling now.
“Since then I have written and illustrated five more books and have illustrated another author’s book. My books include ‘Gina the Dancing Queen’, ‘There Was One in the Bed’, ‘Cheeky Missy’, ‘Isabella Bella’, ‘The Tooth Fairy’, ‘Who’s in The Tub?’ and ‘Where Are You Now Dad?’
“I aim to incorporate valuable messages with bright illustrations to engage children with their reading. My latest picture book ‘Where Are You Now Dad?’ is written from my own personal experience of dealing with grief, in the hope of helping others who have lost a loved one to focus on the same comforting thoughts and words that I focused on to be able to be happy again. The book is written for both children and adults. The story is about a boy named Billy, who since losing his dad, lost his smile and had so many unanswered questions about his father’s passing. While his family visits for his birthday, Billy’s questions are answered and he is able to smile again.”
Marisa’s new book ‘Where Are You Now Dad?’ has a beautiful way of helping children find peace during a very traumatic time in their lives. The book has been recently published on Amazon and ranked No 8 Best Seller and No 2 Hot New Release in the Christian Emotion and Feelings category within the first two weeks of publication. This book is currently available on Amazon and if you do find it to be amazing, please leave a review on Amazon.
