Health & Wellness
Welcome. I’m Gracelyn!
As a children’s author and wellness advocate, I love creating stories for kids that will touch their hearts, make them ponder, or maybe even laugh-out-loud. My uplifting stories encourage empathy, kindness, and inclusion. They are written in an imaginative non-fiction way and are designed to be conversation starters for important neurodiverse or other wellness-themed topics.
Wellness-Related Topics
My Books
My passion is to educate children about mental wellness through engaging, entertaining, and educational picture books. Each book focuses on an important wellness-related topic impacting today’s children or spotlights a specific neurodiverse condition to help spread empathy, kindness, and inclusion. They are geared towards young children, their families, caregivers, schools, and libraries.
Videos for Kids
My Videos
I have a YouTube series of wellness-related videos called Gracelyn Keys Kids. Each month, I create fun and engaging mini-stories and poems centered around a different wellness theme. These videos and accompanying EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES are available for parents and school districts to use.
And…THERE IS NO COST for you to present them yourself!
They focus on these different wellness-related themes:

Fun Health & Wellness Videos for Kids
Since retiring from the ‘real’ work world, my husband and I often entertain our eleven grandkids. During the Covid lockdown, we would pick up some of the younger ones on our way to buying groceries. However, we didn’t feel comfortable exposing them to germs in the stores, so I usually stayed in the car and amused little ones that were still strapped into their car seats, while my husband shopped. That’s when I thought that fun health and wellness videos for kids would be both entertaining and educational for them.
