💛 About the Author

Jessica Dalton is the author and founder of Monster Hill Books, a children’s picture book concept and parenting blog dedicated to exploring how to raise confident, emotionally resilient kids, with a strong sense of purpose.

As a mother of two, including a neurodivergent child, Jessica understands the daily challenges and deep love that come with parenting. She approaches parenting solutions with love, curiosity, and a belief that we are raising children for a future we ourselves have never seen. 

Jessica holds a background in strategic communications and leadership. Her writing combines heartfelt storytelling with a commitment to fostering emotional intelligence, mental health, and meaningful conversations within families. Through her work, Jessica is creating more than just children’s books. She is building a movement to support childhood mental health, inspire families, and remind every child that they are never alone.

Her books are not only written to entertain, but to empower. Through playful rhyme, engaging characters, and relatable scenarios, each Monster Hill story offers children practical tools to navigate big feelings, overcome fears, and grow into who they were meant to be. Currently preparing to query literary agents, Jessica shares her journey and reflections through the Monster Hill Books blog and Instagram page @MonsterHillBooks , a space for parents who are willing to wonder, rethink, and raise the next generation with intention.

Inspired by real parenting moments, her writing speaks directly to the hearts of children and the families who love them.
