Cece Beans is the author and illustrator of the Be and Breathe series, rhyming picture books about big feelings, small breaths, and the magic that happens when we learn to pause.

Cece lives in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, where she has spent years as a biological, foster, and adoptive mother. She knows firsthand that big emotions don't come with an off switch and that the most powerful thing you can teach a child is how to find calm from the inside out.

Her own journey with big feelings is woven into every page. Inspired by the playful rhymes of Shel Silverstein, Cece believes the best stories make you smile and make you think- and that a good rhyme can teach a child something a lecture never could.

The Be and Breathe series was written for every child learning to feel their feelings,

and for every grown-up learning right alongside them.
