My Story
Roots and Wings~ “There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. Roots to know where home is, and wings to fly away and practice what has been taught them.”
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Jonas Salk)
I write what I know. I’m an elementary school counselor of 14 years, dedicated Grammy, mother, daughter, friend, and sister. I write children’s stories for my grandkids and for the kids I work with, teaching them to cope with adversity, sorrow and loss, and learn strategies to develop compassion, grit, coping skills, and self-acceptance.
Justice and the Dream, from Christian Faith Publishing author, Katie Abrahamson, is a heartfelt children’s story that follows a young character who cannot speak, yet demonstrates bravery, compassion, and resilience while facing bullying and learning the power of understanding and forgiveness.
Set in the mountains near my home, this children’s book series follows the adventures, victories, and self-discoveries of 7 “cousins” who came to live together, learn from their Grammy Willow and from each other, and grow into resilient animal children, despite their difficult beginnings.
Book 1, Justice and the Dream
Book 2, Blessing’s Heart Song, will be released Summer 2026!
