Izzy's Hair
Inspired by a true story
In March of 2019, my daughter Izabella turned five. She had one wish for her birthday that I thought might be a little bit out of reach for such a young girl. She wanted pink hair. Not extensions. Not clip ins. She wanted to dye it. After a while, we decided to look into safe dyes and allowed her to go ahead and get some pink dye. We got everything ready and an hour later, our baby had pink hair.
She hated it.
On that day, six years ago, a story was born. I've been working on it off and on for a long time... and now, it's finally here.
Each page was hand drawn and colored by me.
Each word written with love.
Years of work followed by hours and days of editing later and we have a finished product!
I am so excited for this book!
If you would like a copy, it's available in paperback and on Kindle.
You can purchase here:
If you have a Kindle Unlimited account, it's currently free to read there!!
If you read, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

Are Retail Expansion Decisions Failing Because You’re Ignoring Location Intelligence?
Retail expansion often looks straightforward on paper. A promising city, visible footfall, familiar competitors—everything seems right. Yet many stores struggle within months, while others succeed just a few streets away.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Congratulations!
This is adorable! I’ve been considering getting an Amazon Kindle account. I don’t have one now. But I’m just might be worth it I’ll be that everybody’s writing I really want to be able to check out. I love your illustrations you’re very talented.
The pacing of the story is perfect; the excitement, anticipation, and surprise of the outcome are conveyed so naturally.
Aww Sara your baby is so pretty. She looks like a baby doll. What a cute idea and concept! I can't wait to read it! Love your illustrations too! 💕🫶🏾
🩷🌸👶🏾The horror was evident, when we realised that the pink was not coming —through extensions or clip ins. It would be a direct application of the colour. Oh NO. Hate. Damn. Strong word... Strong word. 🩷🌸👶🏾Guuuuurrrrlll, hand drawn and coloured by you? Why didn't you give us a heads up that you were going to spoil us like this? I feel spoilt 🥰 and it looks so good. How is it that she's adorable in both? You've got talent Sara, lots of it. 🩷🌸👶🏾Congratulations for sticking it through and creating this lovely book. I love the cover. Sadly, I don't have kindle unlimited. What I could do though, to make up for it. Is shout this out, every once in a while whenever I publish a new piece — keep it fresh in the minds of whoever will come across it. Who knows what could happen when we keep pushing it. 👶🏾🌸🩷Anyways, this was such a treat. Colourful and already made my day. 🤗❤️🖤
Congratulations, Sara!
