Ivey Skye tells me as she writes, "I've written a lot, millions of stories but, I have two books out. I'm planning to write millions of more stories."
White say's she's been writing since she was 7 years old as she coped with the passing of her father and later that year she published her first book Little Girl You Are and the magazine Princess Posse.
Skye continues,"I saw books that I liked the writing style and, I started writing cause I thought it was really fun and it was relaxing."
Because of that passion, at the age of 10, she is on to her second book Choices.
A book about bullying as she tells me she's experienced first hand being bullied.
Skye shares,"First grade and in Kindergarten I was bullied for the color of my skin and my hair."
White writes for her generation so they can share the same joy of reading and learn to respect each other.
Skye explains,"I want them to feel proud of themselves. I want them to feel, safe and happy, when they read it. I want them to connect to the character by maybe the characters are going through something they might have gone through in the past."
