Meet Zuli

Every child deserves to see themselves in the stories they love

Zuli navigates the world with hearing loss — discovering inner strength, resilience, and what it means to truly belong.

Your story matters — even when the world makes you feel like it doesn't.

Zuli's Adventures

A must-read for every child who has ever felt unseen — and the adults who love and support them.

This is Personal.
This is Legacy.
This is Representation.

I yearned for a character who could truly resonate with me — an inspiration that could uplift my inner child. Yet I found nothing. Especially as a young girl grappling with hearing loss — there were no characters who resembled me. So I created one, for the child still searching.

“
If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. — Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize author
Who it's for

Representation isn't a genre. It's a right.

Hearing loss doesn't end at childhood. Neither does Zuli's Adventures.

The child being read to
A character who navigates the world the way they do — before anyone tells them it's a problem.
The kid reading alone
Older readers still told they're the only one in the room. Puzzles, activities, and more to grow into.
The grown-up who never had this
You navigated it without a single character who looked like you. This one's for that kid too.
The family around the table
Grandparents, parents, siblings — everyone navigating the same thing from a different end of a life.

Also used by educators, libraries, audiology clinics and hearing programs.
