🌸 About Leslie

​

I’m Leslie — mother, educator, storyteller, and performer. My greatest inspiration is my daughter Luna, whose wonder and curiosity remind me daily why joyful learning matters.

Through The Tiny Tall Teacher, I create experiences for children and adults that blend stories, songs, culture, and creativity — nurturing connection and care for our planet. My work is grounded in early childhood education, creative arts, and mindfulness, bringing together all the parts of me: the teacher, the artist, the mama, and the dreamer.

​

💛 My Mission

To nurture:

• Joyful learning and imagination

• Cultural belonging & language pride

• Creative expression

• Love and care for our planet

​

🌈 What I Offer

• Children’s Books — heartfelt, multicultural, sustainability-minded stories inspired by real family moments.

• Author Performance Visits — interactive storytelling with music, movement, bubbles, and joy.

• Creative Resources — printables, lesson ideas, and cross-cultural classroom tools.

• Sessions for Grown-Ups — creative wellbeing and teacher support with a gentle, neurodivergent-friendly touch.

​

🌙 Why I Do This

When Luna was born, I saw the world through new eyes — eyes full of wonder, love, and possibility. She inspired Mini Mermaid, a story that celebrates culture, sustainability, and the joy of belonging.
Growing up between cultures myself, I’ve learned that storytelling bridges hearts and generations. Everything I create — from performances to resources — is made to help every learner feel: " I belong. I matter. I can make waves."

• Proud Filipino creative: culture, community, and coconut water are my love language.
