About Sonjia
Connecting Through Comfort
Sonjia M. Colson is a native of Rougemont, North Carolina. She has earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Human Development Studies. Currently, Sonjia is an elementary school teacher and has been in the education field for seven years. She enjoys working with her students and spending time with her family and friends. They fuel her drive to write stories and to be successful.
She was inspired to write children’s books for a variety of reasons. First, Sonjia wanted to bring awareness to bibliotherapy (therapy through the connection to books). Additionally, her goal is to help all people learn coping skills to deal with grief. Furthermore, Sonjia wanted to write stories that provided memories about her grandma's house and the legacy of her family.

What readers are saying about Safe Haven
It helps children and adults with loving memories of the past and a sweet way to deal with losing someone close to you
I met the author at church and was happy to hear that she wrote a book for kids. After talking with her I quickly ordered the book from Amazon. I’m pleased to report that it’s a great book directly written for children. If you want a book encouraging close family relationships and respect for grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, this is the book for you. Highly recommended.
This is a pleasant reminder of Sunday Dinners at Grandma’s house.
A lovely story!!
