Feathered Dreams
Sheila June — Your Auntie Lala
Sheila June, affectionately known as Auntie Lala, is a Canadian children's storyteller, creative educator, and founder of Feathered Dreams.
With a lifetime of experience nurturing children's imaginations through preschool teaching, childcare, storytelling, music, and creative play, Sheila believes some of life's greatest lessons come from seeing the world through a child's eyes.
Inspired by her Algonquin heritage, her love of nature, and the remarkable children who have touched her life, she creates stories that celebrate belonging, kindness, curiosity, and the magic of making mistakes.
Her stories remind little readers that they don't have to be perfect to discover something wonderful. Sometimes the most unexpected adventures begin when things don't go quite as planned.
Through Feathered Dreams, Sheila hopes to encourage children and the grown-ups who love them to explore, create, laugh, and discover together.
With love, Auntie Lala, AKA Sheila June. Leave Room for Wonder.
Where imagination takes flight and every child belongs. Welcome to Feathered Dreams, a magical world where stories inspire curiosity, creativity, kindness, and discovery.
Sheila creates her stories with the help of AI, because her eyesight is limited. She pictures each scene in her mind and describes it, and AI helps bring what she imagines to the page. She is unable to work with her limited eyesight, and since she can't drive anywhere, she has listened to podcasts and seminars in order to improve herself. Then she started developing an idea to talk to her little self, the little Sheila, through these books.
Sheila is a mother to four grown children. They are having children of their own now, and she will be a grandma soon — there is one grandbaby on the way so far, maybe in the new year. That was definitely the push to create something for the little me, and for the generations that are coming.
