Dr. Kimberly Brayman

Dr. Kimberly Brayman is a licensed psychologist with decades of experience in both Canada and the United States. After years of working in health care she was inspired to build confidence, normalize struggle, inspire hope, and delight adults and children alike through her storytelling. She weaves the wisdom she has garnered over the years into her books.

She believes stories not only build empathy, but empower the listener to find their own self-reliance and strength. The power of supportive relationships is a strong theme. When a child knows deep in their heart that they are loved and accepted, just the way they are, they have a chance to blossom.

In her Marshmallow chapter books, the stories show real life obstacles and experiences with beautiful illustrations.

Her illustrated children's books also touch on topics that reflect a child's worlds, like making friends, being different, love, and imagination
