Welcome to Cheerful Cherub, where the life of one small soul touches the lives of many.
Cheerful Cherub began as a publishing company, created to promote a children's book written in memory of my firstborn son. "Little Joe" was born with a rare metabolic disease and only lived to be seven weeks old. During his illness we spent several weeks in pediatric intensive care, witnessing the battles, triumphs, and losses of other families there. After "Little Joe" passed I was inspired to write a children's book to comfort terminally ill children. As I wrote, the book evolved into a lighthearted tale of a world beyond this existence; a magical story that speaks to all souls.
When the manuscript was nearly complete, I began to search for an illustrator. After two long years of searching for an artist, I attempted to illustrate the book myself and discovered my own artistic talent.
