Hello, I’m Kirsten — a children’s author, mum of two, a psychologist, and business owner, from Melbourne, Australia.

​

Our little family also includes two Italian Greyhounds, who make their way into my stories.

​

I’ve loved writing for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always creating stories and imagining characters, quietly holding onto the dream of becoming an author “when I grow up.”

​

Years later, that dream found its way back to me.

​

I began writing children’s books while on maternity leave with my first child in 2023. Parenthood has a way of shifting your perspective — and children have a quiet way of nudging you toward the things that matter most!

​

Inspired by the sensitive, thoughtful child I was, I write for the “little me.” The child who needed support to; understand her feelings, find courage in difficult moments, and develop a quiet confidence as she moved through the world.​

​

I feel deeply honoured that my books have found their way onto family bookshelves, becoming part of bedtime routines, thoughtful conversations, and moments of calm.

​

My hope is that these stories continue to support parents, educators, and therapists who believe — as I do — that stories can help children understand themselves, and develop in profound ways. 

​

I'm really grateful you've found your way here!
