Kendall Concini-Moore’s greatest adventure began not on the page, but at home, as a mother. Alma and Max aren’t just characters in her stories; they’re her children and wildest inspirations, even helping co-write some of the funniest (according to them) one-liners in her pages. Alongside her husband, Matt, Kendall fills their days with laughter, curiosity, and just the right amount of weirdness. Their dog, Kiaora, prefers quiet days on the couch with a blanket and a good book. When they’re not exploring together, the family can often be found where the wild things are.
Kendall spent years navigating the taboos surrounding mental health while putting her creativity on hold. Through the messy, joyful adventure of parenthood, she reconnected with her authentic self and her love of storytelling. Through her writing, Kendall invites children and families to explore emotions, build resilience, and embrace the power of imagination, reminding them that life’s challenges don’t have to be faced alone.
