The Kelsey Rose Reading Corner

I write children’s books that help little hearts grow

Drawing on more than a decade of experience working with children of all abilities, I create stories, storytime videos, and resources that help families, educators, and therapists teach kindness, empathy, body autonomy, and social-emotional skills.

Storytime starts here! Award-worthy children’s stories that nurture empathy, social-emotional learning, and meaningful conversations for children, parents, educators, and therapists.

Join Kelsey for read-alouds! Whether you’re a parent, teacher, therapist, or librarian, you’ll find engaging videos that spark meaningful conversations and a love of reading.

Great for: Parents, Teachers, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, Counselors, Psychologists, Librarians, Preschool Classrooms, Kindergarten, Homeschool Families and Summer Camps.

Meet The Author Kelsey Rose Walsh

Children have always been at the heart of everything I do. For more than ten years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside children with a wide range of abilities, personalities, and unique ways of experiencing the world.

From coaching inclusive summer sports camps to supporting children with physical and developmental disabilities, each experience has reinforced one simple truth: Every child deserves to feel safe, understood, respected, and celebrated.
