Welcome to my very first blog post here on Books by Simone! I’m so excited you’re here and part of this journey with me. Let me introduce myself. I’m Simone — a writer, creative, and founder of Books by Simone, a collection of empowering journals, activity books, and coloring adventures designed for people of all ages and walks of life. Whether you’re a parent looking for educational tools, a survivor finding strength in your story, or a dreamer ready to explore the world through art and words — there’s something here for you. Why did I start Books by Simone?
It all started with a love for storytelling and a passion for helping others feel seen, heard, and inspired. Each book I create is a reflection of something meaningful — whether it's a journal to help someone heal, a coloring book that sparks curiosity, or a guide to empower the next generation of dreamers and doers. As a single mom and a woman who's faced her share of challenges, I know how important it is to have resources that support your growth, your healing, and your joy. That's why I pour my heart into every page — because I believe books can be more than just something to read. They can be tools for transformation.
What you can expect from this blog:
- Behind-the-scenes looks at new books and what inspired them
- Tips on journaling, creativity, and parenting
- Free printables and sneak peeks
- Encouragement for whatever journey you're on
Whether you're here for you, your kids, your classroom, or a gift for someone special, I want to say thank you for being part of this community.
This is just the beginning.
💕 With love, Simone
