My name is Heidi Brooks.  I am a wife, mother and grandmother.  I happen to think that my grandkids are absolutely hysterical!  I used to say "I could write a book on all of the funny things these grandkids say", and maybe I will!  Being a grandma or "gammy", as I am affectionately known, is the absolute greatest gig in the world!

I am also an advocate for Down syndrome, childhood cancer and children born sleeping!  In 2019, we were blessed with our Bronxy (our homie with the extra chromie), and suffered a crushing loss, just 2 weeks later, when our beautiful baby Brooks was born sleeping. (still birth at 37 1/2 weeks)!  This broke our family as nothing else has!  It has inspired the elephant represented as MRS. B's BOOKS!  Just 2 years prior to losing Brooks, we had a grandson Bronson, the brother of Brooks, suffer from a childhood cancer.  This cancer affects only 800 children in the United States every year. We were lucky, as he was diagnosed quickly, and took the treatment very well!

We have overcome a lot through humor!  You see, humor really can heal!  You will find humor in my rhyming style throughout my books.  The first book I published is a beautifully illustrated book to bring awareness to Down Syndrome and the beauty and love it can bring to a family! The other book is a lighter, funny book about my grandson Gray taking his first steps.

Coming soon will be my new book "Noodles Noodles Everywhere" representing the love my grandchildren have for noodles. And yes, they seem to get everywhere during dinnertime!
