This picture book is designed for children ages 4 to 8, with gentle language and themes that resonate with early readers. Younger children love hearing it read aloud, while emerging readers can manage the text with support. The emotions, however, reach far beyond, many parents find themselves wiping tears right alongside their little ones.
Yes, absolutely. Eleen wrote this book after watching her own son Adam, then eight years old, take his very first solo walk to their neighborhood store. Every detail, the sleepy eyes, the careful steps, the proud clink of coins, comes from that real morning. The story honors what she witnessed: small bravery unfolding in real time.
Signed copies are available at select local bookstores and author events. For online orders, Eleen frequently includes signed bookplates that can be adhered to the inside cover.

Growing up on Union Island surrounded by storytelling taught Eleen that culture lives in the moments families share. Her Caribbean heritage runs through every page she writes, not as a lesson, but as a warm presence, like grandparents in the kitchen, reminding children where they come from and how deeply they belong.
