About The Happy Blonde Press

After spending more than 20 years in the beauty industry as a hairstylist and makeup artist, Melanie Garda turned her lifelong love of storytelling into a new chapter as a children’s book author. Her debut picture book, Mia’s Blue Shoes, celebrates kindness, individuality, and the courage to stay true to yourself. Inspired by everyday experiences and the importance of helping children build confidence and empathy, Melanie hopes her stories encourage young readers to embrace what makes them unique.
