I finished writing my first children’s book “Quadzilla Finds His Footing” - Quadzilla loves spending time with his monster friends but gets discouraged when he struggles to do their favorite activities. To cheer him up, his friends invite him to try a new game — football! Quadzilla Finds His Footing is an uplifting story about trying new things, even if it isn’t easy.
