Having experienced postpartum depression herself, and when a second child was on the way, Jessica searched for a children’s book to read with her five-year old son about the changes their family could face. Unable to find a book like this, she decided to write one. Jessica lives with her family in New York, where she works as a gluten-free pizza critic. Just kidding. Jessica has worked in the field of education as a speech therapist and a school administrator for the past thirteen years. She is a fierce maternal mental health advocate and believes we need to raise awareness about postpartum depression (PPD)/postpartum anxiety (PPA) and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) through family friendly resources. Postpartum depression is the most common mental health complication of pregnancy and yet there are very few picture books on this topic. Jessica's writing has been featured on Motherly, Hello Postpartum, Welldoing, and Filter Free Parents. This is her first self-published children's book.
