Cherie Winiarski is passionate about crafting stories that empower children to navigate their emotions with confidence and creativity. With a background as a pediatric behavior analyst, Cherie brings a unique perspective to her writing, blending expertise in emotional growth with a deep love for storytelling. Her books are designed to inspire children and provide families with practical tools for managing big feelings. Cherie’s journey as an author began with a lifelong love of writing, starting at the age of 14. During the pandemic in 2020, she discovered her passion for children’s literature and set out to create stories that make a difference. Her first interactive chapter book, The Calm Kit Chronicles, invites young readers to explore their emotions while building their own Calm Kit—an engaging resource full of tools to navigate challenging moments. When she’s not writing, Cherie enjoys hiking the North Country Trail, traveling with her husband and their two adventurous cattle dogs, or crafting unique creations that add joy to everyday life. She’s always dreaming up new ways to help children and families feel supported, inspired, and seen.
