THE FOUNDER
VALERIE GREENE
Valerie Greene is a children’s book author and life coach who finds inspiration in nature, family, and the everyday moments that remind us how connected we all are. Her debut picture book, I Love You, Ocean, was born from her love of the sea and her belief that even the smallest acts of love can create ripples that reach far beyond us. The first in a growing series, her books celebrate love, mindfulness, and our connection to the natural world.
Splitting her time between the USA and Germany, Valerie draws on her experiences of travel, healing, and self-discovery to write stories that nurture kindness and emotional connection. Soon to welcome her first baby, she feels more inspired than ever to create stories that help children feel seen, loved, and part of something greater.
When she’s not writing or coaching, you can find her exploring the outdoors, journaling by the water, or dreaming up her next story.
THE PUBLISHING HOUSE
JOY LEGACY PUBLISHING
Joy has always been at the heart of my life, and it’s even in my name. My dad and I both share the middle name Joy, and more than that, we share a deep belief in living with joy and spreading it wherever we go. That’s why we founded Joy Legacy Publishing—a company built on the idea that stories have the power to uplift, inspire, and create lasting change.
This publishing house is more than just a business; it’s a legacy we’re building together. Through children’s books, empowering stories, and creative projects yet to come, we hope to bring messages of love, courage, and gratitude to the world. Joy is our foundation, our mission, and the gift we want to pass on—one book at a time.
