ABOUT ME

Shelia Mote (Pen Name: NancyLee) is a self-published author of children's books, writing under the name NancyLee as a heartfelt tribute to her late mother, whose profound influence on her creativity and life continues to inspire her work. A proud native of a small Southern town in Louisiana, Shelia earned a degree in Business, but her true passion has always been storytelling. Her childhood memories of singing nursery rhymes with her mother sparked a lifelong love of rhythm, rhyme, and the magic of words, which she now shares through her books. In addition to writing, Shelia enjoys drawing and painting, allowing her creativity to flow through multiple mediums. Since retiring, she has embraced her dream of becoming a full-time author, dedicating herself to crafting stories that delight young readers and foster a love for reading. Through her books, Shelia hopes to touch children's hearts and inspire them to embark on their imaginative journeys.

Sharing rhyming books creates a special bond between parent and child.
