Sharnette Donacien
I write stories that celebrate identity, culture, family, friendship and the little moments that help children understand who they are and where they belong.
My stories are rooted in real experiences, big feelings and everyday adventures because children deserve books that reflect the wonderfully diverse world they live in.
Stories for little people, big feelings, and even bigger conversations.
Stories that help children see themselves and each other
Becoming a mother inspired me to make space for the stories I’ve been waiting to tell.
I started thinking about the books I wanted my children to grow up with. Stories that would make them feel seen. Characters who looked like them, sounded like them and experienced some of the same joys, experiences and challenges they did.
So I started writing them.
And so Little Big Stories was born.
