As Much As The Stars - Children's Book

01/26/2026

Our friend, Erica Claus-Numsali, placed a BIG order of book bundles on behalf of her local VFW chapter of Grand Forks. They were able to hand out more than 30 camo tote bags filled with teddy bears, hardcover books and bookmarkers. We are grateful you chose OUR book to donate to Grand Forks AFB. ❤️🤍💙

Thank you always for your tremendous support for our military families. 🎉

Author Event at Acres Elementary

Today was such a special day at NAS Lemoore! If there’s any group of children who truly understand the challenges of military deployment, it’s the students on base. 💙⭐

My heart is full after this event, and I’m so grateful for the chance to connect with these incredible kids and their families. 💛

Last Saturday’s special story time and author meet & greet was truly unforgettable! For the first time, all three co-authors of As Much As The Stars, Forrest, Skylar, and Tricia were together to share our book in person. Seeing families connect with the story and its heartfelt message about military goodbyes was incredibly special.

We were also honored to have Gin-Gin from The Bobas Band perform children’s songs, including a beautiful piece written just for the book! The joy on the kids’ faces as they sang along made the event even more magical.

Every guest received a special edition of As Much As The Stars and a limited blue star teddy bear—tokens of love and support for military families. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so meaningful!
