Hi and welcome to my website!
My name is Lani and I am an aspiring children’s author.
I write stories about finding your place in the world and being comfortable with who you are. My stories also feature dogs, a lot (I’m kind of obsessed)!
I am currently querying my first two picture books: ‘Bean Finds a Home’ and ‘The Colour Ick’.
Please feel free to take a look around and check out my blog.
