Inspired by the peacefulness of nature and the wonder of childhood imagination, Brigette creates gentle stories that help children feel understood and encouraged. Her experience in counseling, education, art, and storytelling inspired Lupuna, a kindhearted sloth whose adventures explore emotional regulation, kindness, self-discovery, and helpful ways of thinking.

Brigette makes her children’s book debut with Lupuna and Moss Take It Slow.
