About Paula Carol

My relationship with stories began in a fourth-grade library in Brazil. I will never forget my teacher, Mrs. Yolanda, who patiently guided me through my very first pages. From that moment on, I became an avid reader. Books became my refuge and safe haven, giving me the chance to travel the world and live a thousand different lives, much like the heartwarming children's books I write today.  

Now, I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my husband, the love of my life, and our two children. My family is my "why." They inspire me every single day to do what I love most: create engaging children's stories about identity, belonging, and the joy of growing up.  

I write every single day and am captivated by the workings of the human mind, especially children's minds. I can still see the magic in everyday moments, just as I did as a child, and I find inspiration all around me—whether it’s a crooked neighborhood basketball hoop or the rushing water of a river.  

As an author, my goal is to build a lifelong career creating a wide range of children's books, including delightful bedtime stories for kids that reflect all sides of childhood. Some standalone books delve into meaningful themes like identity and navigating between different cultures, while others are lighthearted and designed to make kids laugh out loud.  

I believe that children deserve honest, engaging books that take their minds and emotions seriously, all while leaving plenty of room for joy.
