Meet the Author

As a child, Joshua David McAdoo sat in his elementary school classroom, captivated by a local artist who visited to share a children's book. Though reading wasn't his strongest skill at the time, he was deeply inspired, dreaming of one day writing and illustrating stories of his own.

Years later, that dream has become a mission. Now an author and illustrator, Joshua creates heartfelt children's books that help young readers navigate difficult topics like bullying and grief.

His first book, Bigfoot Has Feelings Too, introduces Grizz, a character named after his childhood dog, who was a constant source of comfort. This story marks the beginning of many adventures from the mind of Joshua, a growing world of characters designed to inspire, uplift, and support children through life's challenges.

Through his storytelling and illustrations, Joshua aims to provide kids with the reassurance that their feelings matter and that they're never alone.
