Meet the Author
Hi, I’m Amanda Rivera.
I’m a children’s author, mother, and advocate who believes stories can help children better understand their emotions.
As a mother navigating big emotions with my own child, I wanted to create a story that helps families build patience, kindness, and emotional regulation together.
Inspired by my family’s experiences, I created Leo and the Course of Good Choices to give parents and caregivers practical tools for navigating big feelings through meaningful conversations and shared reading experiences.
This gentle bedtime golf adventure transforms important life skills into memorable lessons that children and the adults who love them can practice together.
My hope is that every family who reads this book discovers that growth happens one good choice at a time.
I’m currently writing my next children’s book and look forward to creating more stories that inspire confidence, kindness, and meaningful family conversations.
