Picture books for the moments parenting doesn't come with instructions for.

Hi, I'm Lara.

I'm a children's book author and grandmother of two from Alberta, Canada. The stories I once told my grandchildren at bedtime have become books that families everywhere can share and treasure, especially in the moments that are hardest to talk about.

Every book I write is built to make one hard conversation a little bit easier, for kids ages 3–7.
