I’m beyond excited to share some big news—my very first children’s book, Ruby, the Doula of the Valley, is officially published and now available on Amazon!
This book has been a true labor of love—written with the hearts of growing families in mind. As a birth doula, I often witness the beauty, strength, and transformation that comes with welcoming a new baby. But I’ve also seen how the littlest family members, big brothers and sisters, need support and reassurance during this time too. That’s where Ruby comes in.
Ruby, the Doula of the Valley is a gentle and heartwarming story that follows Ruby, a kind and calming birth doula who helps families prepare for the arrival of a new baby. She supports moms, dads, siblings, and babies through every step of the journey—with love, confidence, and care.
Written for soon to be big brothers and sisters, this story introduces young readers to the idea of a doula and the magic of family connection. Whether your child is anticipating a new sibling or you're simply looking for a meaningful story about birth and support, Ruby’s story is a beautiful way to start the conversation.
This book isn’t just a story—it’s an interactive experience. Included are over 50 engaging coloring pages designed for siblings and parents to enjoy together. These pages offer a creative way to bond, explore feelings, and reinforce the loving messages found in the story.
This book is a wonderful gift for:
Expectant families with young children
Big siblings preparing for a new baby
Birth doulas and midwives to share with clients
Classrooms, parenting groups, and anyone celebrating birth and community care
Ruby, the Doula of the Valley is now available on Amazon! I would be honored if you added it to your home or office library.
