Danielle Wallace 

As a product of Detroit Public Schools and a graduate of Michigan State University with a Bachelors of Arts in Education, Danielle Wallace is a children’s book author with hopes of giving a voice to underrepresented communities. She is a graduate student studying at Eastern Michigan University, as well as a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Additionally, she is a freelance writer for The Blasting News online publication. Upon completing her undergraduate degree in education and entering the work field, she has worked to design and facilitate youth programs and staff professional development workshops targeted toward enhancing cultural competence/proficiency and aimed at students who may need individualized attention. She has also worked in areas of community and family engagement, bridging communities, families and schools.

Inspired by her nephew, Danielle created this story because she noticed there was something missing in children’s literature. Danielle noticed that there are not a lot of books and stories available for children to learn and talk about students who may deal with a form of special needs or students who may learn in different ways in general. Danielle believes that everyone deserves representation and an opportunity to see themselves reflected in the stories they read, so she created what she could not find.
