Swashbuckling Bug

Chalese was inspired to write “The Adventures of Bug” children’s book series after the passing of her four year old son in a tragic accident in 2004. She knew it was important for her own healing journey to find a way to keep his adventurous spirit alive and is doing just that in each of these stories. She is a mother of two other beautiful children, one of the favorite aunts among her nieces and nephews, and has worked with children of all different age ranges, including ones with special needs, for as long as she has been writing. Her own adventurous spirit and playful nature gives her the ability to see the magic, imagination, and life through a child’s eyes, (specifically her late son Kaleb’s,) creating the character of Bug and the new friends he meets along the way. She has a passion for life and understands that each person (or bug) we meet along our path leaves an impact that teaches us valuable life lessons staying with us on every adventure.
