meet the author

Hi, I’m Leigh — the author of Poof’s Magical Forest Adventure, a story that lived quietly in my heart for more than a decade before finding its way onto the page.

This story was born during a season of my life when I felt uncertain and a little lost. Like Poof, I had to step outside my comfort zone to discover who I truly was — not by becoming someone new, but by embracing everything I already carried inside.

In many ways, Poof’s journey became my own. Writing this book reminded me of the power of friendship, the importance of kindness, and the quiet courage it takes to keep moving forward — even when you can’t yet see the whole path. It reminded me that we all have something special to offer, even if it takes time to uncover it.

My greatest joy now is sharing Poof’s story and connecting with others — children, families, and communities — who see themselves in his journey.

I hope this book fills your heart with wonder, courage, and the gentle reminder that you’re never too small, too late, or too lost to become the person you were always meant to be.
