Y.S. Moon is a parent, wife, engineer, and lifelong storyteller based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She believes that the right story at the right moment can shape a child's heart forever.
Her debut book was born from years of watching children including her own to navigate big feelings, new friendships, and moments of self-doubt. She wanted to give them a mirror: stories where kids just like them found their footing and discovered their inner strength.
When she's not writing, Y.S. enjoys traveling the world with her family, cooking, and volunteering by hand-making greeting cards for children with cancer because kindness isn't just something she writes about.
Whether you want to book a school visit, order in bulk, or share how the book touched your family — Y.S. Moon would love to hear from you.
