Hello, and welcome!
I'm Danielle Davis. I create and connect.
I grew up in Singapore and Hong Kong and now live in Los Angeles. I'm a children’s book author, former teacher, picture book coach, critiquer, and editor, presenter/facilitator, collaborator, organizer, and producer (with an M.A. in literature and creative writing). I've published two children’s books with more forthcoming and write and produce stop motion shorts.
I organize The Rights of Every Child project.
I'm passionate about offering children validation, comfort, and hope in all I do.
You're invited to stay in the loop on my author news and process, classes, books, events, and editing + lots of creativity and community public service announcements for you with my newsletter/Substack: PSA from Danielle Davis.
What's New?
OUR FEET WERE NOT ON THE EARTH: Breakidz in Gaza written by Ahmed Alghariz and me, illustrated by Noor Alshalabi, will be published by Candlewick Books in 2027.
This story is inspired by the children of Camps Breakerz.
What an honor and joy to bring this story of breaking as a source of comfort, pride, art, agency, and community to life. Ahmed and the whole Camps Breakerz crew have provided healing, hope, and smiles to kids undergoing immense trauma for twenty years.
