Meet the Author

Dr. Deana Plaskon

I’m Deana Plaskon, a mom, psychotherapist and educator who helps children understand and manage their emotions through my children’s book series, Bella and Bird the Emotion Explorers. Bella the therapy horse, and her friend Bird, the cheeky barn swallow, guide children through big feelings and give them easy-to-use tools to cope and communicate. Through fun, relatable stories, children learn that it’s okay to have big emotions, while also teaching them how to manage their feelings better. My hope is that the kids will love the stories so much that they revisit them often and adopt the tools naturally. The first book of the series, Bella and Bird Explore Anger comes out very soon.
