Meet Lily Maplewood
Lily Maplewood is a lifelong daydreamer who writes cozy, heart-forward stories for kids and the grownups who love reading with them. Her books are filled with gentle magic, big feelings, and small acts of kindness that turn ordinary days into little adventures. When she’s not writing, Lily can be found wandering through bookstores, talking to trees, or inventing new bedtime stories with a mug of something warm nearby.
The Kindness Garden
When a tiny act of kindness is planted in a magical forest, it grows into a garden of new friends, brave choices, and gentle surprises.
"The storytelling is so gentle and the illustrations are like a warm hug. My daughter asks for the kindness garden every single night."
Sarah Jenkins
Parent of a 4-year-old
