Welcome to The Storykeeper’s Journal, the official blog of Indigo Lila’s Whimsical World™.
This is a place where stories, imagination, family, literacy, and legacy come together. Here, I’ll share behind-the-scenes moments, book updates, new projects, creative inspiration, literacy resources, and special milestones as Indigo Lila’s world continues to grow.
But before we look ahead, I’d love to share how it all began.
Indigo Lila’s Whimsical World™ was inspired by my granddaughter, Indigo Lila, whose joy, curiosity, and imagination have brought so much wonder into my life.
Like many young children, Indigo asks questions all day long. One question she asked over and over again was:
“Meemom, what animal is that?”
Whether we were reading books, watching television, visiting the zoo, or simply exploring the world around us, she never stopped asking. Her excitement was contagious. Every animal became an adventure, every question became a discovery, and every day became an opportunity to learn together.
That simple question became the inspiration for my very first children’s book, What Animal Is That?
What started as a loving response to my granddaughter’s curiosity soon grew into something much bigger.
Another special part of this journey is that many of the characters throughout Indigo Lila’s Whimsical World™ are inspired by real members of our family. The illustrations were lovingly created from actual photographs, allowing treasured memories, familiar faces, and meaningful relationships to become part of the stories themselves. This personal touch helps make each adventure even more special and authentic.
Today, Indigo Lila’s Whimsical World™ is growing into a world of books, coloring books, educational resources, story episodes, calming ambience experiences, merchandise, animation, and future film and media projects designed to inspire imagination, curiosity, and wonder in children everywhere.
At the heart of every story is a message I hope children carry with them:
Your questions matter.
Your imagination matters.
Your voice matters.
Through Indigo and her loving Meemom, I hope to create stories that bring families together, spark meaningful conversations, celebrate learning, and create lasting memories.
As this world continues to grow, The Storykeeper’s Journal will be a place where I can share the journey with you. You’ll find updates on new books, literacy initiatives, school and library programs, creative projects, special events, and exciting new adventures from Indigo Lila’s Whimsical World™.

A World of Wonder Awaits™
