Lily Jackling

Lily Jackling is a children's book author who resides in Bellevue, Washington.

In 2014, at the age of 20, Lily suffered a fatal asthma attack and was brought back to life. She lost all motor function but miraculously, she was cognitively unaffected. She spent years working very hard; learning how to physically do everything all over again. She continues to work on her recovery to this day.

Lily realized she was here to fulfill a purpose. That purpose is to spread her message of perseverance, kindness, positivity, inclusiveness, love, and hope.

She lives by the mantra that attitude is a choice. Life is a gift, and it is precious. Use your gift to do good in this world.

"When it feels like everything is out of your control, the one thing you can always control is your attitude."
