S. Alston

Sheila Alston is a new children’s author whose mission is to publish books that empower young minds. The inspiration came from witnessing the pressure and stress that today’s teens and young adults put on themselves. Unfortunately, teen anxiety is all too common. It can start as insecurity and lead to panic attacks, depression, or a whole host of chronic physical conditions. After embarking on her own healing journey to relieve stress, Sheila learned many coping skills that she attributes to her ability to now find peace and self-confidence and tap into her inner wisdom. She wants to inspire kids to learn these skills too, and weaves important messages into all of her books.

“When your mind is relaxed and calm, you make better decisions and trust yourself more. Every parent wants to raise happy, healthy children to be caring, responsible and successful adults. So my books guide children through poetry and story to tap into their own inner guidance so they are inspired to be the kind, confident, and creative geniuses they really are.” - Sheila

In 2022, Sheila released her first picture book, I AM Mighty Me, which builds self-esteem through self-awareness and positive affirmations and is a Gold recipient of the prestigious Mom’s Choice Award. Since then, she has released 10 more titles! Each of her books includes “Connection Questions” that enable parents to continue the conversation and create dialog around the story's message, which helps to strengthen neuro-pathways and deepens understanding.
