Ka-Lunk! is a book for both children and parents that can help make the little “oops” in life seem a lot more bearable. The book was inspired by Gloria’s children and her understanding of their developmental progress as they stumbled their way through early childhood. Gloria is confident her first published work will help new parents and caregivers, as she knows first-hand how the bumps and bruises children seem to accumulate can be a source of stress. The children’s book goes on to include developmental guidelines and play ideas for caregivers and parents, so the whole family can use the book as a source of knowledge, inspiration, and a way to keep-on-moving even after a few falls.

Gloria, a former preschool teacher, who is currently working as an OT as she holds a Master's degree in Occupational therapy, is familiar with the bumps and stumbles children experience as they develop, thanks to her work and family experiences. These stumbles, which Gloria has aptly named "Ka-Lunk" moments, can often seem traumatic for first time parents who worry about the well-being of their child as they clumsily learn about the world around them. The book "Ka-Lunk!" shows the resilience of a child as they continue progressing forward. It also includes the relatives along the way that can provide support to a maturing child. Gloria has combined her experience as a mother and her knowledge and expertise of working with children to craft this rhyming tale perfect for ages five and under.
