Clara loves her messy room, but when a ragged old Rat King makes her the queen of his crumb-filled kingdom, it will take the help of a brave Nutcracker and the Sugar Plum Fairy to help Clara learn that caring for what you treasure brings its own kind of magic.
Dreams & Doodles
A cozy space for half-scribbled thoughts, creative sparks, and behind-the-scenes peeks into the messy magic of storytelling and art.
Here you’ll find reflections, sketches, story seeds, and the occasional detour into wonder — because every finished book or painting begins with a dream… and maybe a doodle.
Deborah Laird
I’m a mom of two, a professional daydreamer, and a lifelong doodler with a deep love for messy desks, wild ideas, and God’s great grace. I believe in stories that linger in little hearts and stir big imaginations.
the DREAM is to create
“Storytelling that burns with purpose, sings with imagery, and dares the heart to hope.”
WAITING to hear from you
