After some powerful words from her then 7-year-old daughter, she decided to be the solution, forging her own publishing house and crafting tales inspired by her daughters. Seeking to answer questions swirling in curious young minds, Melissa-Sue shares everything from occupations to explaining cultural clothing items in her Olivia Lauren series.
