About Us
Blue Strawberry Books
At Blue Strawberry Books, we believe stories can spark connection, build emotional strength, and help children grow. Created by Amelia Joy, a passionate author, artist, and mom, our books are designed to support kids and caregivers through real-life challenges—one story at a time.
Each of our picture books blends Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) with guided parent-child interaction. Whether it’s big feelings, changing families, or making friends, our stories invite kids to explore their emotions and feel seen, while giving parents tools to talk about hard topics with love and confidence.
We offer read-alouds on YouTube, eBooks, printable activities, and extended learning materials—all built around one simple idea:
Read together. Learn together. Grow together.
