Hi, I'm Jocelyn!

I am a mom of two and a picture book author who writes warm, heartfelt stories rooted in culture and family. Everything I've written is an invitation for young readers to slow down, feel seen, and find themselves in each page. My debut picture book, Hungry Little Ghosts (Picnic Heist Publishing) will be published in fall 2026.

Family is in the centre of all my stories. They are written to start warm and meaningful conversations around the dinner table.
