Little One speaks to children who have ever felt small, uncertain, or unsure of where they belong.At its core, Little One carries a powerful message: that significance is not something to be earned. Sometimes the greatest impact comes simply from being exactly who you are.Rachel grew up on a farm, surrounded by open skies and wide horizons - a beginning that shaped her deep love of land, animals, and quiet reflection. In adulthood, life eventually led her to Cairns, where she has now lived for almost seventeen years. Today, Rachel lives with her husband, Brendan, and son, Asher, on an acre of land where they are beginning to create their own small property - a return to the rural life Rachel cherishes. Their home is shared with two dogs, King and Kia, and three beloved cats, including ragdoll siblings Summer and Winter, and Bunny, a rescued tabby.Professionally, Rachel works as an office manager for a law firm, following years as a service manager in the automotive industry. While her work life has often been structured and demanding, creativity has always been her refuge. She finds joy in painting, and dreams of a future filled with art, animals, and time on her property with her family.Little One is her first book and a reflection of her belief that even those who feel small can shine in the most extraordinary ways.
