J.E. Stamper

J.E. Stamper is an author, advocate, and speaker working at the intersection of children's literature and trauma-informed care. His Ugly Me series — a #1 Amazon bestseller — is used in schools nationwide to build empathy and open conversations about childhood trauma.

He lives in the mountains of Virginia, where he's plagued by senseless optimism, an overactive imagination, and an insatiable appetite for nerdy things — all of which end up in the work.
