Kusum Byrd is a Montessori educator, mother of five, and the founder of Little Bee Publishing. After years in the classroom watching young children struggle to name and navigate their emotions, she knew there was a gap that needed filling - not with worksheets or curriculum, but with stories. Stories that feel like a warm hug and emowerment at the same time. As a mother who has raised children through every stage, she writes with the insight that only comes from real experience in the classroom and at home. Little Bee Publishing is her answer to that gap, built one book at a time.
