Richelle sees magic in creative ideas and thrives on bringing them to life. Since childhood, writing has been her greatest passion, beginning with her first published poem at the age of ten. She later earned a diploma in Print Journalism, a foundation that shapes her clear, grounded voice.
Drawn especially to autobiographical essays, her work balances humour with poignancy. She is currently working on an anthology of personal essays exploring lived experience, identity, and self-understanding.
In 2025, she independently published two children’s picture books, Pasta Please! and Different is a Dandelion, distributed through Amazon, IngramSpark, Indigo, and Barnes & Noble.
She resides in Ontario, Canada, with her precious pup Zoe.
Different is a Dandelion follows an observant child who experiences the World in his own unique way. Through poetic words and tender watercolour style illustrations, this gentle story celebrates neurodiversity, sensory experiences and the quiet beauty of being yourself. This book invites readers to see difference not as something to fix, but something to understand and cherish.
Perfect for children ages 3 – 7, Different is a Dandelion offers comfort and connection to families navigating autism, sensory sensitivities or simply looking to celebrate individuality. A beautiful read for bedtime, classrooms or meaningful conversations.
