An avid literary enthusiast and lifelong artist, Kyshia Marie Hamilton (aka Author Jamee-Marie Edwards) channeled her love for creativity and expression into a children’s book that reflects her personal life experiences growing up in New York. Her zeal for children’s literature stems from years spent in school health in an early childhood setting, observing children’s behaviors, learning styles, and subtle nuances of development which influenced her to explore ways to connect and communicate with young audiences on different levels.

 

“I write from a place of deep passion and commitment to producing the highest possible quality of children’s literature.”

 

Her passion for writing manifests through her whimsy, yet authentic story lines with inspiring messages of life lessons which are illustrated through vibrant, sparkling images. Her words illuminate on a page and capture the imaginations of children of all ages. Her stories convey meaningful, applicable content to foster continued learning and growth.

She also serves as the Director of the Theatre Arts Ministry for the oldest Presbyterian church in the U.S.—First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, N.Y.
