Kelly Anne Manuel stands out as a beacon of positivity and creativity. With the remarkable feat of releasing 31 books—one for each day of the month—Manuel has provided children with an array of uplifting and encouraging stories. Her work resonates with young readers, thanks to her unique voice and actively vibrant inner child.
Manuel’s books are categorized into four series: The Essentials Series, The Rainbow’s End Series, The Classics, and My Name Is Series. Each series carries its own charm and purpose, contributing to her mission of spreading positive messages through captivating tales.
An eternal optimist often described as “the good kind of contagious,” Manuel’s journey into writing children’s books was unplanned but profoundly embraced. She considers herself an “uncommon author,” having initially pursued a different path. Growing up on Long Island, New York, she earned a BA Degree in Telecommunications with a major in Marketing and a minor in Spanish from Indiana University. Today, she calls Fort Mill, South Carolina home, where she lives with her beloved pup, Teddy Roosevelt.
In addition to her writing, Manuel is also a mother and an artist, enriching her life and work with creativity and nurturing care. Her commitment to spreading joy and positivity to children through her books is a testament to her dedication and passion.
