Dr. DeShannon Quiett-Burrell
I love children’s stories. As a child, I loved my mother reading books to me. She still does, even in my adulthood. I am captivated by reading a simple story and being embraced by a powerful message. I wanted to create this experience for children and children at heart.
Working in childcare and with special needs populations, I have always loved reading stories to children and bringing the book alive. It warms the heart to capture the attention of a child and they immediately share what they learned from the story. Their response is usually, can you read it again or can I read it to you? What a great feeling. Happy reading.

How it All Started
I experienced one of the greatest losses of my life. My one and only sister passed away. I was overcome with grief. Returning to work was challenging, but one day I received a call from someone who needed counseling for her daughter, herself, and her mother. After the counseling session, I sat at my desk and received a divine revelation to write children’s books. The children’s books would help children and children at heart to overcome emotional issues. I immediately began to write.
I completed the books on overcoming anger, fear, grief, frustration, loneliness, and sadness. I knew that if I could help children learn how to overcome negative emotions in their younger years, and give them a message of hope, they would be healed with time, love, and support of others. Just as children desire books to be read to them over and over again, I found myself reading the books that I wrote to myself over and over again. This is when my healing began.
