Meet Monica
Monica Kalpakian is a licensed child psychologist and children's book author. She combines her professional expertise in child development with whimsical, heart-centered storytelling to help families navigate big feelings, bedtime routines, and life transitions. Her books are designed to be comforting tools for parents, educators, and therapists to connect with children and build emotional resilience.
On honesty: Monica wants children to know, in their heart and in their body, that telling the truth is a matter of spirit, alignment and integrity. It is not a rule about right and wrong. It goes deeper than that.
Songs for children: Monica also writes songs for kids. Listen on Spotify.
