About Camden Bookshop

 

Welcome. I’m Marian Camden,  and I'm so glad you’re here.
​
Camden Bookshop grew from my love of children, stories, and the quiet power books

have to steady a heart. As a clinical psychologist and children’s author, I’ve spent many

years listening to families — their joys, their struggles, their resilience

— and those experiences shape every story you’ll find here.

​

​Some books celebrate the turning of the seasons — gardens, golden light, winter hush,  and

the constant return of spring after winter, both literally in Nature, and as applied to our human hearts and lives.    Others gently help children navigate harder moments: moving between homes, sibling changes, family conflict, and the big feelings that don’t always have words yet.  I believe childhood deserves both wonder and honesty. Feelings are never too small to matter--and stories can help.

​
                                                   Through Dawn & Dusk Publications,  LLC, I create books that I hope are emotionally wise,                                                                                thoughtfully written, and comforting to hold.   From the Earth Child series to stories like

                                                     Going Back and Forth, Where Do My Brother and Sister Go?, and My Parents Are Fighting Again, my                                                        hope is to offer language and reassurance during life’s tender chapters.
​
        Other titles — including Tiny Giraffe’s Big Adventure, Once Upon a Cousin, and The Soap Bubble Fairy — invite children

into warmth, family connection, and gentle bedtime magic.
​
Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, therapist, or simply someone who believes children deserve thoughtful stories, you are warmly welcome here.  I’m grateful you’ve stopped by. I hope you find a book that feels just right for the child in your life.

Warmly,

 

Marian Camden, Psy.D.
