Jamie Chin

Jamie Chin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), mother, wife, and author who writes classic children’s books with positive messages. It’s this background that provides Jamie with endless inspiration for her picture books from both her family and her clients. Dear Daughter and Dear Daughter, Love Dad were written, with her own daughters in mind, to show girls that they are loved unconditionally and that they are perfect just the way they are, particularly in today’s social media landscape. With Look for the Magic, Jamie had her young therapy clients in mind, sharing messages of self-esteem, mindfulness, and living in the moment - all timeless messages that children need to hear more than ever. Jamie believes a great book is one that is relatable and builds connection with the reader. She hopes her young readers come away from her stories feeling uplifted and reassured, cherished and loved, and that this feeling stays with them long after the book is closed. Jamie is also the author of the upcoming book for young adults, Away You Go, a book celebrating the enduring bond of a parent with their adult child. When she isn’t writing, Jamie loves spending time with her daughters, being in nature, watching movies, and traveling with her husband. They live in Northern California.
