Indulge me in a proud mommy moment 😊 My daughter, who recently turned 13, published her first book in early November. Chemistories is a collection of short stories and poems about chemical elements that come to life. Her love of the periodic table, which started when she was eight years old, sparked this project. While I am proud of her achievement, I’m even more proud of her process. This project spanned three years of drafting, revising, illustrating, and editing until she got the paper to match her imagination. Sometimes, she would spend hours writing continuously in a burst of activity. Other times, she would create concept art to help her find the words. There have been peaks and valleys in the journey, but she kept going. Along the way, she learned important mindsets like how to persevere and how to follow your passion where it takes you. And I learned how to follow her lead. Congratulations Maya! #chemistry #creativewriting

This is great! I'm glad she enjoyed and learned from the process; you both must feel very happy. There's nothing better than feeling proud of your children's achievements 😍 I used to love the periodic table as well, and I love the idea of bringing it to "life!" Super fun! 😂
I’m very happy with her success. Yo know I really like her. She is so kind and smart…I hope she enjoy the experience. You should be very, very proud 😘
Amazing. You are entitled to be a proud mother.
Parents who genuinely listen and support their children while exploring various subjects they are interested in lead to great projects like this! Congrats to both of you!

1wShe looks so much like you! And your proud mommy message is so sweet. It’s tugging at my heartstrings to think of the journey you all have been on since she was born. I’ll never forget your sharing over video, “Oh, I can’t do that meeting time, I’m supposed to deliver that day.” And we were all like, “Deliver what?!” 🤣🤣🤣
