Belle Belrose is an award-winning author and a first-grade teacher who has a passion for helping children learn and tackle difficult topics in a fun, easy manner. She came up with the first Orion's story "All Different and Beautiful" to start discussions about diversity, disability and to help kids understand and learn in a safe place. She hopes to inspire children and their families to discuss topics that might make them uncomfortable with an open mind and a positive attitude. Her second children's book "I Am, I Can Do Wonderful Things" is all about positivity, mindfulness, and building self-esteem. She lives in a little town close to the ocean with her husband, two kids, an energetic Jack Russell Terrier, and a calm Great Dane. When she is not at school, most days, she can be found walking the beach with the kiddos and dogs, reading, or volunteering at her local library.
