Introducing young Cordelia, this is a modern-day fable about believing in yourself and your dreams, and flying wherever you want to go. Be your own hero!

Cordelia soars with ease among the birds, over the ocean and into the stars, until one day Cordelia starts to believe those would say she can't. Cordelia's life becomes dull and grey. Will Cordelia achieve her dreams again and fly?

"I write and illustrate books for children. I love to laugh, I love to have fun. I do not have time for mean people. Life is too short to not do what you love for a living. Or deal with mean people. I like smiling. It's my favorite."

"Get the tissues out!
This is such a GREAT book. The story is simple, but the message is huge. It's an uplifting book (even though it makes me cry). Don't let anyone squash your dreams! This is going to be the BEST graduation/promotion gift! Also, at the end of every school year, I'm going to have my daughter's teacher write a message in it. What a keepsake book!

So thankful I got this book!
This has gone on the list of my all-time favorite books. Its message of believing in yourself and daring to dream is such an important message to instill in children and adults alike. It can be a bit of a tear-jerker, but don't let that stop you! This book is definitely a must-have for all home libraries.

Gives me chills!! (The good kind!)
Saw this book for the first time on a YouTube video and knew I had to have it. Granted, my daughter is only 2 years old and won't understand the story yet but I wanted this for ME! It's such an uplifting, precious book and literally makes me tear up every time I read it. So empowering. I have this in the paperback but I definitely want to get the hardback to last through the years!! This is totally a keeper.

A MUST in your Library!
One of the books I recommend to EVERYONE is Cordelia. It has an amazing message for young and old. I cried the first time I read it, because I needed to hear the message. It teaches not to stop believing in yourself. You are in charge of you life, not anyone else. What a powerful message that sends to our precious children! Especially if they are being bullied or don't have a lot of self-confidence. LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!"
