The Deaf Mainstreamed Peacock is officially out in the world.

This book is helping fund my rebuilding after domestic violence
and my journey to get my kids back.

As a mother of three, this story is deeply personal.
It comes from lived experience, resilience, and choosing to rise anyway.

This is for every child who has ever felt out of place
and every parent fighting to create something better.

✨ When you support this book, you’re supporting something real.

Peacocks are in the Bible… and no one talks about it
🦚

When you realize your childhood was basically Mean Girls…
but in ASL 🦚

The movie was originally going to be called…
“The Deaf Mainstreamed Peacock” 🦚

They said, “you don’t fit in.”
I brought color anyway. 🦚

Book 1 introduces a Deaf peacock navigating the mainstream—facing bullying, choosing homeschooling, and becoming an artist.

✨ Mass market editions are officially on the way.
Prices are dropping from $40–$69 to the $20 range next week.

Last October, I was crushed when I realized I had selected expensive paper for the first run.

This time, we rise. 🦚
