Her first book, My Bunny BunBun, became the beginning of the Sweet & Simple series and was born from a particularly special moment with her youngest granddaughter. When Donna mentioned she was going to write a book, her granddaughter climbed up into her desk chair and declared that she wanted to write one too. As she excitedly told her story, Donna carefully spelled each word for her. The little author later took her handwritten story to school and proudly read it to her class.

That original story - along with her granddaughter’s drawing of Bunny BunBun - is lovingly included in the book.

Through the Sweet & Simple series, Donna hopes to spark curiosity in young readers and help them see the beauty of nature, family, and connection in the world we all share. Each story is a gentle reminder that childhood does not need to be extravagant to be magical - sometimes the most meaningful moments are the quiet, ordinary ones.

Now that her first story has come to life, Donna is excited to continue bringing more Sweet & Simple tales to the page - stories filled with wonder, warmth, and the enduring joy of growing up.
