Brave kids Books
If only I was taught how to hear the voice of my intuition as a child. . . . . . oh how different my life might have been!
Our mission with Brave Kids Books is to offer children of all ages access to books that not only entertain, but inspire and teach.Our children’s book authors are healers and wellness practitioners who specialize in sharing important messages with children about being brave, speaking up, and understanding the magical gifts they possess.
What if the gifts we were born with were honored and celebrated instead of ignored or brushed off as
“just our wild imagination?”
What if the adults around us not only understood those gifts but nurtured them throughout our childhood? At Brave Kids Books we like to dwell in those possibilities and be part of that revolution; to build a generation of connected, aware, love-focused, empathic, magical, powerful humans.
We want to help kids (and their parents, coaches, mentors and teachers) understand:
Healing
Awareness
Intuition
Diversity
Equality
Love
Acceptance
Courage
Grief and loss
Life and death
Gratitude
Bravery
And we want them to have ways to communicate, wonder, dream, and be everything they imagine they can be. We aim to be a light on the journey and especially the early years and moments of that journey.
Are you a children’s book author with an important message to share and teach?
Let us help you move your brave words into the world in a bigger way!
What's Included in a Brave Kids Books Publishing Package?
Our Publishing Package is everything you need to get from an idea to a professionally published book.
Coaching
You’ll meet with Kelly vdH Kashula, Director of Brave Kids Books, for 90 minutes to get clear on your idea, title, and contents, as well as learn about the important parts of the writing, editing, design, publishing and marketing process. This strategy session will move you into serious action.
BOOK EDITING
Your book will be edited by one of the professionals on our team trained to make your words shine like a badass. The editor makes notes of all problems or areas of concern, and will help you ensure the book is ready for publishing.
COVER DESIGN
They say 'the more you tell, the more you sell' which is true... but only if people actually read what you write. People read text that's punchy, interesting and helps them make a good buying decision.
Interior Layout
How the interior of your book looks is just as important as the cover. We'll help you make sure you have created a cohesive visual experience for your reader, from the cover to the final page.
Book Promotion
The marathon of promotion starts the day you have an idea about writing your book. We’ll help you with your launch strategy, as well as spreading the word about your book far and wide!
Business Development
Your book is a powerful business development tool. We will show you how to use it for that purpose both during launch week, and moving forward into the future.

What our authors say about us
I’ve had the privilege of working with both Laura and Kelly on several Brave Kids and Brave Healers Production book projects, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. Kelly’s expertise as lead author and illustrator is evident in the quality and depth of each Brave Kids story. Her ability to inspire and guide collaborating authors, coupled with her approachable nature, makes her an invaluable asset to the Brave Kids Books community. Laura’s visionary leadership and passion for empowering authors to share their stories shine through in every project she undertakes. Her unwavering commitment to uplifting the next generation through literature is truly inspiring. I was already a published author when I joined Laura’s Brave Kids series, but the opportunity to work with her and Kelly has taken my writing journey to new heights.
Together, Laura and Kelly create a supportive and nurturing environment where authors can develop and refine their stories. From brainstorming sessions to editing workshops and monthly chats, they provide invaluable guidance every step of the way. If you have a powerful message or incredible story to share with children, there’s no better place to bring it to life than with Laura Di Franco and Kelly vdH - Kashula at Brave Kids Books.
Being brave enough to step up and share myself from an authentic, vulnerable perspective has been powerful. The feeling when I realized for real that I was a published author and my words were out there for everyone to read has been terrifying yet liberating.
Writing in Brave Kids, knowing that my experience could help a child see things differently and that my perspective may be of insight to the adult or older sibling reading my stories out loud at bedtime, has been a balm to my soul. It has opened up new vistas and an exciting new world for me.
Laura Di Franco and Kelly vdH Kashula are a dream team. The amount of guidance and support they offer to the authors builds a family, a community, and a legacy. Our books end up being a reflection of just that spirit!
If you are thinking of becoming a fiction writer for children, Brave Kids Vol. 3 is the ideal opportunity for you.
