nurturing love, One page at a time
bloom & belong books
Because of the incredible support of my Campaign Backers (I am eternally grateful for you all!), my children’s book series is now available to purchase!
My stories were written with deep love and intention. They have been developed to create calm, connection, and magic for both kids and their grown-ups. I’m so grateful you’ve found your way here and I hope my books become a source of joy to discover and share with your family!
There’s a Tree I Saw is a poetic journey through the heart of nature and the boundless love between parent and child.
Always a Place for You is a reminder that no matter how much we grow or change, there will always be a place where we are deeply loved.
There You Are is a tender celebration of presence, purpose, and the quiet magic found in everyday moments.
Inspired by the whimsical innocence of childhood and the profound journey of motherhood, my books are designed to open your heart space and infuse love into your story time cuddles.
My writing is inspired by my three children, the beautiful, yet complex journey of motherhood, and a desire to create stories that inspire, nurture, and remind us of the love all around us.
The perfect stories to add to your child's bookshelf
Each one of my book's is carefully crafted to help you reconnect with your little one on an emotional level, while also inviting you to reconnect with yourself. It serves as a gentle reminder of your innate worthiness and authenticity, and of the beautiful present moments we often overlook.
​
Partnering with the incredibly talented Toronto illustrator, Alexis Young, the illustrations are intentionally vibrant and grand, drawing you into a world of love and tenderness. With hidden nooks to explore and soothing colour palettes, every page feels comforting and magical.
Remember; love and abundance are all around us, and we are all love, at our very core.
Katelyn is a writer and mother whose words speak to the in-between spaces - where healing, remembrance, and every day magic live. Through poetry, presence and spiritual reflection, she invites others to soften, trust and live from the heart. Her work is a quiet rebellion against fear and a gentle return to truth. All rooted in presence, emotion and the beauty of simply being human.
This trilogy is the first of what Katelyn hopes to be many. A diverse set of stories are in her future plans!

is a poetic journey through the heart of nature and the boundless love between parent and child.

With soft forest creatures and a palette inspired by the heart chakra, it’s a soothing reminder that we are never alone.

Set in a cozy autumn world of golden leaves, tiny tunnels, and two curious mice, this story captures the way love shows up; in shared laughter, soft promises, and the gentle act of simply being there. It’s a heartfelt close to the series, reminding us that love, once given, is never lost.
