Shanalee Sharboneau spent most of her life in Texas. With Irish immigrant grandparents, she grew up hearing tales of Vikings, castles, leprechauns and banshees.
When Shanalee's son Braydon was born in 2010, he had severe reflex. She and her husband, Perry, spent the first six months with their son on a 24/7 vigilant watch to make sure his condition did not take him back to heaven.
Shanalee spent countless hours rocking her son day and night humming nursing tunes to calm him. None of them worked, until she began to hum a melody which later formed words. These words turned into lyrics, lyrics turned into verses, and the verses became the beautiful lullaby she sang to her newborn son entitled, "My Mama Loves Me".
After Braydon's reflux went away, Shanalee wrote down all the melodies to the lullaby so she would not forget the loving song she once sang to her infant son, over and over again, to calm him in his time of need.
This became the book, My Mama Love Me: I'm Her Little Boy, followed by My Mama Loves Me: I'm Her Little Girl, the second in her children's series, My Family Loves Me.
