“Stories can be bridges. I write so children can cross them with courage and compassion.” - P.E. Shadrick

P.E. Shadrick is a children’s author and storyteller who uses imaginative books to open doors to deeper conversations between children and the adults in their lives.

Her debut book, "Lisbeth and the Littering Ladybugs," is a whimsical fairy tale with heart—inviting young readers to explore themes of kindness, self-awareness, and shared responsibility. Through Lisbeth’s journey, kids learn that even when a mess isn’t yours, you can still choose to help—and that a positive attitude makes all the difference.

In 2025, Shadrick released "Elephants DO Forget: How Emory Found His Memory," a tender, reassuring story inspired by her father’s experience with dementia. It gently guides families through conversations about memory loss, aging, and emotional resilience—helping young minds connect with empathy and patience.

Rooted in emotional intelligence and wonder, Shadrick’s stories empower children to grow with compassion and courage.

When she isn’t dreaming up stories, she’s soaking up life’s real ones—drawing inspiration from the people she loves and the places they explore together.
