Alexandra Shields

Hi, I’m Alexandra Shields, a wife, mother of three, and children’s book author. My greatest inspiration comes from my family, especially my daughter, Amiyah, and my two sons, Aiden and Amari, who are both autistic.

I began writing children’s books to share stories that promote kindness, acceptance, inclusion, and autism awareness. As a mother raising children with unique needs, I have experienced both the challenges and joys that come with parenting. Those real life moments inspire the stories I create.

My goal is to help children understand that being different is something to be celebrated and that every child deserves to feel loved, valued, and accepted. Through my books, I hope to encourage empathy, build confidence, and create meaningful conversations within families.

Thank you for joining me on this journey and for sharing my stories with the children in your life
