SHIPPING FOR CANADA & US is FREE!

I Love You to the Earth & Back is a children's story that explores the theme of loss, revealing the enduring power that we hold in carrying forward the essence of people and places we have loved, even in their absence.

Set on a far away planet, this magical story follows the life of an adventurous young alien named Sweetpea as they navigate the many challenges of growing up, discovering the art of self-reliance and embracing their newfound independence.

Sweetpea's resilience is truly put to the test when they face an unexpected, heart-wrenching loss of their home and caretaker. In the face of this tragedy, Sweetpea finds themselves overwhelmed by a combination of incredible grief and a need to quickly adapt to a world they weren't quite ready for.

"I Love You to the Earth and Back" is about my experience in losing my mother at a young age. The healing journey I went on after her death largely involved discovering how to connect with her energy and heart through different facets or moments of my life.

The core story was written unexpectedly one night from the hours of 11pm - 2am, and took me a subsequent 2-3 years to finish polishing it and illustrating the pages. It has now been 10 years since her passing, and I think creating this book was a sort of therapy for me.

The following, is a dedication to her, as it is written inside the book:

"To my mother Maureen, who's light faded all to soon, and yet is so bright that it continues to guide me even now."
