Lane Strahan

Lane Strahan is a mother of four young adults whom she homeschooled through some challenging years. During that time, she watched her children experience different emotions that sometimes challenged her patience and often teaching her something, too. She wanted to help them understand and navigate what they were feeling.

Lane learned that she could talk with her children about their feelings in a calm, reassuring way—without being overwhelming or preachy. This opened the door to meaningful conversations.

She wrote Tootie and the Seven Stars to help children name what they feel and find the courage to talk about it, while guiding parents as they support their children through their emotions. Through the Tootie Tootie Book Series, parents and children can learn together how to understand their emotions, express themselves, and feel heard.
