TAVEA
SANDERSON

Amazon Best Selling New Release Author/Illustrator and Speaker

Hey.

I’M TAVEA

I help kids see the greatness already inside them. My work centers on one message: self-worth starts early. Through books, school visits, and community events, I show children that confidence isn’t something they grow into; it’s something they already have.

I partner with schools, libraries, and youth programs to deliver engaging author talks, interactive readings, and inspirational workshops that get kids thinking, laughing, and believing in themselves, all while incorporating lessons like the writing process. Whether it’s a classroom of twenty or an auditorium of hundreds, my goal is always the same: plant seeds of worth and possibility that last long after I leave.

Kids are navigating a loud world. I want them to walk away knowing they belong, they matter, and they can chase big ideas, even the ones that feel a little wild. If you’re looking for an author who brings heart, energy, and a powerful message, I’d love to be part of your next event.

Inside.

My Debut Book

It’s In Me, an Amazon Best-Selling New Release, follows Alex, a bright and curious six-year-old, as she explores her inner strengths. Through nurturing conversations with her mother and reflections on her grandparents’ legacy, Alex learns an essential lesson: confidence and capability come from within. This story empowers young readers to embrace self-worth, identity and personal growth.
