Tori the Tornado Topples a Tower

A story about big energy, big feelings, and making things right

My daughter and I wrote a book you’ll love!

Bella and I had an idea for a kid’s book that I would write and she would illustrate, and it’s finally here! It was such a fun project to take on together.

Inspired by the amazing Imago Dei Neighborhood School, “Tori the Tornado: Topples a Tower” follows Tori as she accidentally upsets a friend with her energy, and learns restoration is more than just saying, “I’m sorry.”

A simple social story: kids are drawn in by the cute characters and explore life applications through the “Questions for Kids” sections, while adults can grow too through the “Concepts for Adults” section!
