Interview
Suzelle, as a child psychologist, how does your profession influence the themes you tackle in your stories?
My professional practice gives me invaluable insight into the minds of children. I draw on this experience to create stories that not only entertain, but also educate about the importance of self-confidence, emotional balance and empathy, which are crucial to their development.
What is the main objective you seek to achieve through your writing for young readers?
My aim is to plant seeds of wisdom and well-being in children’s minds. Each tale is designed to teach them a moral, give them tools for emotional well-being and help them navigate their inner and outer worlds with confidence.
How does LGJL Publishing's illustration of your books contribute to the mission of your stories?
Illustrations are a bridge between words and children’s imagination. LGJL Publishing has a gift for capturing the essence of my stories and embellishing them visually, making learning and discovery even more magical for young readers.
