My vision is to help families, parents and children together, awaken to their own gentle strength and wisdom by reconnecting with nature. I dream of a world where children grow up knowing their quiet light is powerful, their emotions are welcome, and their connection to the earth is precious and worth protecting.

Through stories, tools, and shared practices, The Whisper Way guides families to slow down, listen deeply, and grow together with compassion. I envision a movement where nature is not just a place we visit, but a teacher and a friend, reminding us how to be still, how to flow, and how to belong.

By nurturing this connection, we plant seeds of empathy, courage, and healing that ripple outward, helping to create a kinder, more conscious world for generations to come.

Love, Malia

REVIEWS

  • An inspiring, heartwarming story for children, parents as well as educators and therapists in guiding children as they navigate their feelings. The story of Cody’s quest to understand why he’s feeling different and then gaining an understanding of how to embrace our differences was beautifully written. The additional calming techniques is a wonderful guide for parents to incorporate on their nightly routine with their children.

  • I found a lot of comfort in this book. The pictures were beautiful and the words were reassuring. My daughter and I love being out in nature together and I am always amazed at what she notices. I love how the sweet coyote gained wisdom from all his forest friends. The suggestions at the end of the book were also helpful.

  • Just given the privilege of reading "Cody's Whisper". There is so much to love about this book. From the theme of who you are is exactly right, to the nature, legend and spiritual themes running thru this story. It hits on lots of levels. I especially love a peaceful book when reading to littles. It helps them slow down and think about the world. Something very precious in our lives. Thank you for writing such a special story for our little ones ❤️

  • In a world that is overrun with technology and distraction, Cody’s Whisper brings us back to what is important: inner peace, stillness and the wisdom that can be found when we connect with the natural world. Cody’s Whisper is a reminder and invitation for children to revisit, reframe and rebuild their view of nature and the incredible life lessons it can reveal to those who are willing to listen. What a gift and precious teaching for young readers!!

  • This is a warm story of a unique character finding it's identity. It speaks out to readers of the challenges of feeling alone and unique. The journey consists of questions and feelings through a journey of perseverance and self- worth in a wonderful forest representing phases of inner peace. Hence, the journey not only helps young children aware of challenges through this book, it will also remind adults that perseverance and self- worth will always prevail. Moreover, being "different"is important and this book will help children see that it is the unique character that makes everyone special. Through out the journey, the animals also speak of happiness and sadness. This helps children learn that there are days of sadness and happiness. Therefore, learning the balance of happiness and sadness is crucial into knowing how life gives valuable lessons to shape a person 's perspective and life choices.

  • What a beautiful book! The illustrations are gorgeous. I love Cody’s character and how he finds ways to manage his emotions and all the stressors in his life. We can all relate. Nature can teach us so much. We read all kinds of books to younger clients in our clinic and I would definitely read this book over and over again with kiddos who struggle with the same things as Cody! Amazing work, beautiful writing, beautiful story. It’s a must read. Just amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
