Joleen Michellie
Joleen Michellie was born and raised in California. She started writing at a young age, but began writing Children's Books as a single mom of two in Orange County CA. She moved to Northern Idaho in 2012, where she met her husband. She resides there still with her family today in a rural community near the woods. Many of her books were directly inspired by her young children at the time, while other inspiration stems from her own childhood.

Outside of the picture book genera, Joleen has started on a short novel. She also wrote and illustrated a short self-help book for women, Love Advice from a Flower. She dabbles in greeting card sayings and short poems, mostly just for friends and family. While she enjoys all types of writing, her passion remains with writing for children. Anyone who knows Joleen will tell you that she is a genuine person whose charisma is infectious. Her personality, and values shine through in her creative, stylistic, approach that she weaves into each of her stories. Look for her up-coming events and new books to be released.
In addition to her creative work, Joleen has other passions. A passion for business and caring. Joleen is the founder and owner of In Home Care 4u, an in-home caregiving company dedicated to helping seniors age in place safely and with dignity in the comfort of their own homes. While caregiving and children’s books may seem like very different worlds, both are rooted in the same values that guide her work: compassion, patience, storytelling, and caring deeply for people at vulnerable stages of life. Much like her writing, her journey into caregiving was born from personal experience and a desire to help families feel supported.
