Crafting Heartfelt Children’s Stories
A mother-daughter duo with a lifelong love for children’s books, we set out to create stories that help kids understand how their world—inside and out—shapes them. Our first book is a heartwarming guide to how feelings and experiences influence us, told in a way little ones can truly connect with.
Inspiring Understanding with Two Wrens Press
Founded in Spring 2025, we took the inspiration for our name from a favorite little bird that flits around our yard, singing its heart out. At Two Wrens Press, we create beautiful, accessible books designed to inspire and help children, parents, and caregivers deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
BOOKS IN THE WORKS:
Beautifully illustrated with metaphors children will easily understand, our first book talks about our energy bubble.

Diane
has always been passionate about stories, beginning with Mary Ann’s Mud Day and Little House in the Big Woods and growing into a lifelong love of books. With an BA in English from CU Boulder and a MA in Education from Stanford, she began by teaching middle and high school. Now, as a death doula and host of the Best Life Best Death podcast, she recommends books on a daily basis and explores meaningful conversations about life’s most profound transitions. Though she has too many favorite children’s books to name them, the most recent one she added to her collection is The End of Something Wonderful: A Practical Guide to a Backyard Funeral.
