Daniel Hayes

Daniel Hayes is a storyteller who believes that picture books can help children feel seen, heard, and brave. Inspired by real-life emotions and the quiet courage of kids, he writes gentle stories that help little readers understand their big feelings.

When he's not writing, Daniel enjoys sketching quirky animals, exploring nature trails, and sipping hot chocolate with a notebook nearby.

His books are perfect for bedtime snuggles, classroom storytime, and moments when children need to know they’re never alone.
