Aloha, I’m Desiree Jean! I’m a children’s book author based in Hawaii, inspired by the everyday adventures of my own keiki.

I write stories and create resources to help children navigate BIG feelings through Social-Emotional Learning (SEL).

My goal is to support children’s mental health, encourage emotional growth, spark meaningful conversations, and instill values like empathy, compassion, and kindness. I hope to empower children to positively impact the world.

Mahalo for helping to nurture little hearts and guide big feelings!
