📘 A children’s book company founded by a Hmong-American speech-language pathologist. 📘

Lou is a Hmong-American speech-language pathologist (SLP).

She has always had a wild imagination, and her outlet for her imagination was always writing. She remembers always being excited when presented with creative writing assignments in school and how her teachers would find her writings so creative and captivating that they would often read her stories out loud to her class.

Lou also loved helping others. She was a natural caregiver and educator. As a young girl, she would volunteer in her church’s nursery, and then when she got old enough, she volunteered as a Sunday school teacher.

In high school and college, she always found herself in positions mentoring others. She founded her university’s Hmong-American Student Association and with it, founded and instructed a Hmong literacy course.

Naturally, she majored in a caregiving field and received her Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology from Wayne State University in 2013. Since then, she has been serving families and children with speech and language disorders. She loves speech pathology so much that she also volunteers her invaluable expertise in online communities, providing education and resources for Hmong children and families.

However, her heart ached knowing that it would always be impossible to be able to help everyone. This is why she decided to combine all her passions of writing and helping others, along with her expertise as an SLP, and become a children’s book writer.

As a clinician who has a deep understanding of the many fine nuances of speech and language, when there were presented opportunities for deficits were presented, Lou wanted to create resources that families and other clinicians could use to address those deficits. She wanted to write books where, when you read, you would essentially be in a speech therapy session with her.

Her books are a love letter to all those children and families whom she cannot provide for physically, but she hopes that through her books and materials, she can provide help in an even more exponential way.

She hopes you will find love, healing, and fun through her books.
