Florence E. Wellman is a Canadian children's author and storyteller whose books are inspired by her childhood growing up in the small coastal community of Old Fort Bay on Quebec's Lower North Shore. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, the sea, and a close-knit community, she developed a lifelong appreciation for simple moments, family traditions, and the joy of childhood—memories that continue to inspire her writing today.
Through her beloved Little Flo series, Florence brings to life warm, heartfelt stories filled with kindness, curiosity, imagination, and perseverance. Many of the adventures are inspired by real experiences from her own childhood, introducing young readers to a simpler time when children found adventure in everyday moments. Whether Little Flo is learning to skate, picking berries, starting school, celebrating Christmas, or discovering life's small treasures, each story encourages children to believe in themselves while appreciating family, friendship, and the world around them.
In addition to her picture books, Florence is the author of Ashlynn And Layla's Big Hug, a touching story about love and reunion, and Blue Rose Society: Awakening of the Extraordinary, a novel that explores courage, purpose, and discovering the extraordinary within ourselves.
Florence's goal as an author is simple: to create stories that children will ask to hear again and again, while giving parents and grandparents meaningful moments to share with the young readers they love.
She continues to write and publish new books through Little Flo Books, sharing stories that celebrate imagination, compassion, resilience, and the enduring power of family.
If you want something a little more personal and memorable, I'd actually recommend ending with a short quote that sounds like you, for example:
"Every child deserves a story that makes them smile, dream, and believe they can do wonderful things." — Florence E. Wellman
