Over the course of two years, I have taught myself how to use Procreate and Canva to write, paint, and lay out my book, The Wings.

The Wings is based on my biggest life regret: allowing others to cut in front of me in ballet class when I was four years old, which meant I gave up my opportunity to dance with fairy wings. This choice is a metaphor for what many humans decide. We give up what we most want because we don’t think we deserve something better or because we are too afraid to pursue what we truly want. I made this book so anyone who reads it will consider making different choices so they don’t have this regret.
