Sally Emiline “Seriously, No Way”

Written and Illustrated by Renee Kenady

© 2025 Sally Emiline - Martha Renee Creative

 

Sally Emiline is full of fire, freckles, and feelings. In this heartfelt story, she navigates her first days of kindergarten filled with emotional ups and downs—from losing control in frustration to twirling with joy in the hallway. Guided by her teacher Ms. Lila and her own growing awareness, Sally begins to understand how her choices shape her relationships, outcomes, and how she feels about herself.

 

This book gently introduces restorative practices: Guides the development of empathy; understanding how one’s actions affect others; how it makes one feel about themselves; and the value of taking responsibility for those actions.

 

Through vibrant illustrations and relatable moments,

Sally learns that big feelings will happen—

they’re something to understand, express,

and navigate with care.

I’m Renee—a retired educator, photographer, peace advocate, and the heart behind this creative sanctuary. My work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: that healing begins when we tell the truth, gently and bravely.
Through original photography, restorative storytelling, and emotionally resonant design, I create products that invite reflection, conversation, and connection. From mismatched socks that celebrate individuality to cards that speak with beauty. Every piece is crafted to honor the messy, beautiful journey of being human.
A new edition to my work is the story of Sally Emiline, a spirited child with a tender heart and a fierce sense of justice. She’s the star of my upcoming children’s book series—a project born from love, legacy, and a longing to help kids navigate big emotions with courage and grace. Sally’s world is filled with restorative moments, emotional growth, and the kind of honesty that helps us all breathe a little deeper.
This site is more than a store. It’s a gathering place for those who believe in empathy, accountability, and the quiet power of art to change lives.
