About the Author

Belinda Thompson, born and raised in Miami, realized at a young age that her purpose was to use her compassion, kindness, and strength to help others. What better way to fulfill that purpose than to become a nurse? Like Jessica the Robot, Belinda was met with many trials and tribulations throughout her journey, but her dedication has brought her to a rewarding career in multiple specialty areas including psychiatry, substance abuse, and pediatrics. In combining all her interests and passions, Belinda felt called to write children's books as well. She wanted to create stories that would help encourage children to learn the importance of mental health at a young age. The inspiration she gained from her work as a nurse translated to compelling stories that depict empowering narratives. In writing the story of Jessica the Robot, Belinda incorporated her faith and tenacity to create a character that knows what her worth and doesn't let others' negativity change her outlook on life. Belinda is excited for children to learn from Jessica's story and hopes that it will become a beloved classic for all families!
