Cassie Brooks is an award-winning children's author and the creator of the Magick in Me series. Her book Sticks and Stones has been recognized for its literary merit and its honest treatment of how language shapes a child's sense of self. The story is drawn directly from real conversations with her son, Elijah, and reflects Brooks's commitment to writing emotionally truthful books rooted in lived experience.
Beyond her writing, Cassie is actively engaged in community-based outreach, including charity work and participation in local initiatives such as Free Mom Hugs and Hands of the Goddess, where she supports children, families, and the LGBTQIA+ community in discovering their inherent worth and inner strength. Her work consistently bridges storytelling and service, using literature as a tool for connection, affirmation, and resilience.
Originally based in Memphis, Tennessee, Cassie now lives and works in Port Richey, Florida with her son Elijah, and partner Rob, where she continues to write, lead community engagement efforts, and create stories that help children recognize the magick already within them.
