About

Sara C. Morell, born on July 19, 1975, to a dynamic young mother, and a military father with a passion for music and photography, grew up surrounded by creativity and resilience. Her mother’s journey from a certified nursing assistant to owning a nursing home instilled in Sara the values of hard work, ambition, and compassion. A pillar of strength in Sara’s life has been her bonus dad, a man who never runs out of stories, laughter, or words of wisdom. Through his humor, sharp insight, and constant encouragement, he’s shown her the true meaning of unconditional love and what it really means to be family. His influence has been a guiding light, reminding her that sometimes, it’s the people who choose to show up for us who shape our lives the most.

Navigating the challenges of frequent moves during childhood, Sara and her brother developed a deep sense of adaptability and determination. These experiences are the heartbeat of The Adventures of Raspen and Sylas, a beloved children’s book series that blends life lessons with enchanting stories.

From raising three boys on a vibrant farm filled with llamas, a yak, and Barbados sheep, to navigating life’s changes with resilience and grace, Sara continues mentor and pour her life into her creations that uplift and inspire. She brings leadership, compassion, and innovation to every endeavor.

Today Sara shows her technical, creative, and mentoring talents through Tavas World, an evolving brand dedicated to storytelling, authorship, and human growth. When she isn’t writing, Sara can be found kayaking, hiking, or capturing inspiration from the beauty of the natural world—always with a mission to help young readers and others feel seen, heard, and uplifted.
