Kelsey is a licensed therapist turned author whose personal and professional experiences have shaped her passion for disability inclusion and representation. As both the sister of a disabled brother and the mother of a son with Angelman syndrome, Kelsey has witnessed firsthand the joys, challenges, and deeply meaningful experiences that shape disability families. Writing and illustrating disability-inclusive children's books has been a passion-project dream come true. Through her work, Kelsey hopes to celebrate the diverse lived experiences of disability families while creating stories that foster inclusion, acceptance, and a greater understanding of what it means to be seen and valued. She is passionate about increasing authentic disability representation in children's literature and the media, and believes every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories they read. When she isn't writing or painting, Kelsey can be found tending to her garden or enjoying life along Michigan's Great Lakes with her family. You can find her on her Instagram @kelseylaskowski
