Valedictorian

VALEDICTORIAN is an empowering story that is a read-to or middle grade read-alone book that teaches readers what a valedictorian is, and inspires them to strive for academic excellence.

"As a student, I discovered what a Valedictorian was too late to pursue it as a goal. Therefore, as a parent, I wanted to make sure that my children and every reader would learn what a Valedictorian is from the beginning of their educational journey; and be inspired to strive for academic excellence."

Writing and self-publishing *Valedictorian* has been a transformative and enriching experience for me on many levels. However, nothing compares to its profound impact on my daughters. I was able to show and prove to them by example, that we are creators. They witnessed me conceptualize a book idea that I sketched out in an old school composition notebook, and then transformed that into a trajectory changing children’s book. A book where they star as the empowering main characters; and a book that I diligently and organically connected with its intended audience. Observing that entire process have not only empowered them, but also sparked a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit within them that money simply can’t buy.
