ABOUT THE AUTHOR
J. C. Parza
As a full-time working mother of two, I started making books as a creative outlet to help my children learn about emotional intelligence and resilience. Over the past few years, our family has faced numerous challenges, including battling cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ll never forget the day we found out I was pregnant with our second child — it was the same day my husband was diagnosed with leukemia, turning our world upside down.
Supporting my husband through his cancer battles, juggling our careers, caring for our young son, and trying to minimise the sense of uncertainty for him, all while being pregnant and eventually looking after a newborn during the pandemic, was a wild ride for us. I often wonder how these experiences will affect my children’s emotional well-being as they grow. So, I wanted to do something to help them learn about emotional intelligence and resilience at a young age and in a fun way, while being able to give back and help those who have experienced the impact of cancer.
Our journey as a family has reinforced the importance of emotional intelligence in overcoming adversity, something we hope to relay in our books creatively.
With a Communications and Media Management background from the University of South Australia, I hope to create stories that fosters confidence and compassion in children, helping them grow to make a positive impact on the world.
FUN FACT
Kids with strong emotional intelligence are four times more likely to succeed academically and socially!
