About Me

Hi, I am Dayonne Richardson...

I am a local Children’s Book Author and Educator of over 10 years. She is currently an academic in Kansas City Missouri. Since 2020 she has released three children’s books. “I Told the Storm” reminds us that the darkest storms can still bring the most beautiful growth. “Our Gift Grace” serves as a reminder of the gift we give to ourselves and others. “A Letter to My Favorite Student” is all of the many things a teacher loves about her students! Following the release of her children’s books she has gone on to create the accompanying book characters Emry, Grace, Ms. Richardson plushies. As an enthusiastic business owner of Mirror Mirror Books LLC her desire is that her readers will always see themselves in anything she writes or creates. She understands the mirror matters!
