Erica Henderson is a first-time children's book author, a professionally trained dancer, & certified doula based in Texas. The proud god-mommy to two emotion-driven grade-schoolers, she's witnessed the delicate & powerful way that feelings guide actions.

Erica believes that the key to emotional health is found in who we surround ourselves with & how we handle our own sensibilities. Appropriately, the journey to this emotional health starts in childhood. She hopes to equip the heartbeats of the future - children - with the tools to address heart wounds before, during, & after they arrive.

Wanting to share the lessons she’s learned, ones gathered as a child and some grasped a little (a lot) later in life, Erica wrote this imaginative book about a young girl’s courageous voyage. She seeks to use her own mountaintop discoveries to help her godchildren, the little human audience at large, and adults not unlike herself, to more confidently understand themselves & their authority over heavy-felt feelings.
