Lauren believes that children bring a unique and unmatched perspective to storytelling. As the primary audience for her books, young readers are naturally in tune with the emotions, imagination, and whimsical details that make a story come to life.

By choosing children as illustrators, Lauren ensures that the artwork reflects the same sense of wonder and creativity that her stories inspire. Who better to capture the magic of a dancing coconut palm or the dreams of a little daisy than the very minds these stories are written for?

This collaboration between young artists and Lauren’s storytelling creates a special kind of magic—one where children see themselves not just as readers but as part of the creative process, inspiring them to dream, create, and imagine without limits.
