Karen Faciane is a children's book author from the Bay Area and lifelong picture book lover who is passionate about children discovering the importance of self love. A mom of a child with autism, she strives to create stories that emphasize the value and gifts all children bring to the world's table. Her love of reading, writing, and the pure magic of a good story inspired her to create books of her own. She hopes her stories steer children in the direction of making their own dreams come true.
