Meet Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler

I grew up in the Tidewater region of Virginia and now live with my family in Durham, North Carolina. I work in school-based mental health and as a college adjunct psychology instructor, in addition to teaching yoga. I believe the most valuable use of my time is teaching youth how to love and care for each other and the natural world. My stories share this focus on positive relationships. I have published two picture books through Brandylane Publishers, When Daddy Shows Me the Sky and When Mama Grows with Me, and a YA novel with Monarch Educational Services, Whispering Through Water, which was included in the American Library Association January 2023 Booklist and won the 2024 Hindi’s Libraries Best Overall YA book.
