Her family’s own journey has also shaped the heart behind her work. In 2024, Mimi’s husband, Mike, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), beginning a long and difficult battle with blood cancer. After intensive chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and many challenges along the way, Mike is now blood-cancer free and continues to work toward rebuilding his immune system and strength.
Walking beside him through that journey changed the way Mimi looks at life. Their family learned to celebrate the little victories, find hope during difficult days, and never take ordinary moments for granted. Mike’s determination and resilience have become another source of inspiration for Mimi... not only in her life, but in the books she creates.
Today, Mimi continues to homeschool, write, research new topics, and create educational resources for young learners. Through every book, her hope is simple: to give children something that makes them smile, sparks their curiosity, builds their confidence, and reminds them that they are capable of more than they may realize.
If one of Mimi’s books helps a child discover something new, feel understood, or simply fall in love with learning, she considers that a success.
As a neurodiverse writer with autism and dyslexia, Mimi brings her own experiences to the pages she creates. She understands that children don’t all learn in the same way, and she believes books should meet children where they are… with patience, encouragement, simplicity, and a little bit of fun. Her youngest son is also dyslexic, and watching him learn, grow, and overcome challenges has deeply influenced the way she writes.
For more than 12 years, Mimi has helped children learn with confidence, curiosity, and joy. Her books use simple language, gentle explanations, playful storytelling, and engaging illustrations to make new subjects feel approachable for young readers. Her work includes Cute Critters ABC, the Joey Saves the Day! series, State Facts for Kids, The Wonderful World Of… series, The Wonderful World of Zodiacs, Farty Freddy and Friends, and other educational books created for children and families.
Mimi’s passion for writing goes beyond teaching facts. She wants children to feel capable. She wants them to be curious enough to ask questions, confident enough to keep trying, and proud of the things they learn along the way. Most of all, she wants young readers to see that there is nothing wrong with learning differently.
