About Brenna

Hi, I'm Brenna.

I'm the author and creator behind Elumi Books, a mom of two, and someone who believes the things we feel deeply are often the very things worth creating from.

Elumi began as an idea about a tiny cloud whose feelings changed the weather around her. But somewhere along the way, she became something more.

She became a way to remind kids that they don't have to choose just one feeling. They can be excited and nervous. Happy and sad. Brave and scared. They can have sunny days, stormy days, and days when the weather seems to change by the minute.

Every feeling belongs.

I created Elumi Books because childhood is full of big feelings, and I wanted to make a world where kids could see themselves in all of them.

A world filled with stories that don't ask children to quiet what's happening inside them, but instead help them understand it, trust it, and know that they are still completely themselves through every kind of weather.

And maybe there's another little reminder tucked inside these stories, too:

You don't have to make yourself smaller to fit the space around you. You don't have to dim the brightest, silliest, loudest, softest, most wonderfully you parts of yourself. You're allowed to take up the whole sky.

That's the world I'm building with Elumi. And I'm so happy you're here.
