The Creation Of This Book:
The author began writing books alongside her young children as a fun and creative way to connect with them. Each child would write their own stories, while she wrote hers inspired by their experiences, often weaving in gentle lessons to help them through challenges they were facing. The Deer Who Had No Antlers was born from this tradition, written to help her children find the courage to make friends and overcome their fear of rejection. Today, the author is passionate about sharing this story with other readers, hoping it will inspire them to find courage as well.

Mother and Daughter Collaborative:
The editor of The Deer Who Had No Antlers is the authors mother. The two have collaborated for years on writing, illustrating, editing, formatting and publishing their collection of books. The author's stories were originally inspired by her cherished tradition of writing alongside her children, using storytelling as a way to teach gentle lessons and foster creativity. When the authors mother became severely ill and was confined to a chair for a couple years, she faced a difficult period of discouragement and inactivity. To help her find renewed purpose, the author invited her mother to contribute her artistic and editorial talents to the books. What began as a way to bring light into a dark time soon become a shared creative passion. Through their collaboration, both mother and daughter discovered unexpected joy and meaning in their work together. Their partnership is a testimony to how beauty, purpose, and connection can arise even from life's most challenging seasons.
