About the Author
Kelly’s love for teaching was fueled for over two decades by her student’s daily supply of humor, wit, and their unbridled quest to understand the mysteries of life.
She was unable to find light-hearted, relatable books for her students that addressed complex topics such as menstruation and puberty.
Chill Out & Stop Making This Weird: A Girl’s Survival Guide Extraordinaire was written to fill that void and provide a framework to navigate the ups and downs of adolescence through a fun-loving character who is sharing the same journey.
Stay tuned for her next book as the same protagonist addresses the complexities of divorce with the powerful and authentic voice of Maddie.
