Inspired by the magical moments in her children’s playroom, the creativity of her play therapy clients, her own childhood adventures, and her past work experiences in a children’s museum, St. Louis area hospitals, and classrooms, she has a special gift for turning big feelings and tricky topics into stories that feel safe, gentle, and full of wonder.
With a heart full of empathy and a playful spirit, Jamie brings a child’s-eye-view and vivid imagination to every story she writes.

"Seriously the CUTEST children’s book if you have a little who struggles with night time scaries! My 3 year old daughter is obsessed and asks to read this book constantly! She even talks about her dream fairy before bed! The illustrations are also SO good! Very dreamy! Highly recommend!
-Signed a mom of 3"
"My daughters love the book because it speaks directly to them about problems they have and immediately gives them strategies to combat their problems while also validating their feelings!"
"This book was immediately a hit at our house. My son talks about the dream fairy now as if we have known about her forever. He especially enjoyed the idea for the DIY dream fairy at the end of the book."
