These books grow from my experiences as a mother, linguist, and teacher in an international school, as well as from the different chapters of life that have shaped my perspective.
I write about communication, parenting, and the challenges we sometimes face, combining personal experience with my professional background.
Writing is also a form of therapy for me — a way to process, reflect, and share something that may, hopefully, be meaningful to others.

What happens when children start asking about war?
This book grew from my experiences and observations as a teacher in an international school, where the topic of war can quickly enter the classroom through questions, conversations, news, and things children hear online.
It explores how children aged 6–12 understand war, where common myths and misunderstandings come from, and how to talk honestly about difficult subjects without frightening them.
The book also includes 10 true stories of children from war-affected countries, offering a glimpse of war through their eyes and helping us understand how differently children experience conflict.
Finally, it reflects on how to build enough trust for children to come to us first with difficult questions, rather than looking to the internet or news for answers.
Not a guide to having all the answers — but a reflection on creating a safe space for children to ask them.
