Paula Swearingen ​

As a children’s book author, my passion for storytelling to young children of color runs deep. Every word, every character, and every page is an opportunity to inspire and empower. I believe that representation matters, and by weaving diverse narratives into the tapestry of children’s literature, I aim to unlock the hearts and minds of young readers, letting them know that their stories are valid, their dreams are limitless, and their voices are heard. Through my words, I hope to paint vibrant pictures of possibility, nurturing a generation of confident, resilient, and compassionate individuals who embrace their heritage, celebrate their uniqueness, and create a world where everyone shines.
