As a mother and children's author my stories focus on building self confidence in children. I've always been passionate about storytelling and education, especially in areas of special needs and bringing about the awareness of others. I began publishing after the tragic loss of my youngest son, Leigh in 2016 through complications relating to his disability. His biography, Leigh, My Amazing Son was released in 2018. Since then I have released a number of children's books dedicated to children with special needs; Leigh's Wheelie Adventures (Picture books) series; Squishy Sand - Book 1 released 2020 and Off to School in my Wheelie Chair in 2021. For the older children; A Leigh and Friends Adventure (Chapter book) The Mysterious Pool released in 2021. My wish is that these unique little stories inspire and bring a little happiness. www.charlenemciverauthor.com
