She says, &#8220;I like to engage him in a way where I am getting him to think critically or creatively without him knowing. I was asking him questions like \u201cIf you were a superhero what kind of superhero would you be? What are some of this hero\u2019s abilities, what is his name?\u201d and The Amazing Wethead was born! I created a coloring book as a companion product to my child author\u2019s original story and wanted to add activity pages to the back that would engage other kids to think about what was amazing in their lives, community, and family. In today\u2019s world, it\u2019s important to support diversity and inclusivity without alienating any group or culture. I try to do that with all of my works.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I started off doing well with online sales during the height of the pandemic. After about a year that waned and now I do best at in person events. I am still a full time employee, mom, and I work with a couple non-profits so that limits my marketing ability. I am currently working to taper off some of my volunteer efforts to allow me to focus and grow my business more.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tanerra&#8217;s journey showcases the power of maternal inspiration and a commitment to inclusivity in children&#8217;s literature. Despite juggling roles as a full-time employee, mother, and entrepreneur, she continues to prioritize representation and empowerment in her works. As she looks ahead, her mission is clear: to inspire and resonate with young readers everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious to dive deeper into Tanerra&#8217;s insights, inspirations, and stories?
