I'm Arizona Rain, the founder of The Walnut and The Oak, a publishing company born out of my passion for inspiring children to connect with nature, embrace their unique qualities, and nurture their mental well-being. As a mother of two incredible neurodivergent children, I've experienced firsthand the beauty, challenges and joy of raising kids who think and see the world differently. This journey fuels my commitment to writing books that empower children to explore their emotions, build resilience, and find confidence in who they truly are. My books including 'The Eco Ninja Series' and 'Timothy Montgomery Alexander Bo and the Brain Boogers', reflect my belief in the transformative power of stories. Whether it's encouraging kids to step into nature and protect the environment or helping them tackle negative self-talk with kindness and imagination. My goal is to spark curiosity, foster courage, and remind children of the endless possibilities that lie ahead. When I'm not writing or working on my next project, I'm busy balancing life as a mother, caring for our dog Sunny and cat Coco while dreaming of building a sustainable shipping container home here in Western Australia. I love collaborating with my talented daughter, who helped create our first coloring book and writing stories like 'The Eco Ninja' which were inspired by real life stores about my son Hamish. Thank you for stopping by! I am so excited to share these stories with you and hope they inspire you and your little ones to explore the wonders of nature, embrace creativity and take on life's challenges with open hearts.
