Dominique Okonkwo is a Haitian-American author, information technology professional, and mom of three who lives in Miami, FL. She is constantly inspired by her children and their many family adventures. Dominique oversees the children’s ministry at her church with her husband, who has been surprised by the lack of minority representation in faith-based children’s books. Her picture book series stars an adventurous young boy with a trusty blankie who learns the lessons of life with the help of the Word of God.
