Our beloved author, Jean Nishimura, was recently featured on KGET-TV 17 Bakersfield’s Studio 17 Live with host Kait Hill in celebration of National Mental Health Awareness Month. In this uplifting interview, Jean shares how her new children’s book, The Head in the Clouds Duckling (published by Miriam Laundry), encourages children to embrace their uniqueness, build confidence, and practice kindness. She also offers heartfelt insights on how parents, teachers, and caregivers can help every child feel seen, valued, and supported as they discover their strengths and shine in their own beautiful way.
