💫 About Mel Nielsen – Founder of MiskaMinds

Hello, I’m Mel Nielsen ,a Mum and the heart behind MiskaMinds.
My greatest inspiration comes from my son, whose curiosity and imagination remind me every day that every child’s mind is a gift safe and ready to grow.

🌙 How It All Began
This story was born from a simple bedtime moment a wish to help my little boy drift off peacefully after long, busy days filled with screens and noise.

I wanted him, and children everywhere, to remember the beauty of slowing down of looking up at the stars and finding calm in their gentle light. 🌟

Creating this book became more than just writing a story , it was healing, purpose, and hope. Every page carries a piece of our journey: the laughter, the late nights, the quiet prayers, and the promise that calm can always be found, even in chaos.

To my son , you are my brightest star.
And to you, reading this ,thank you for believing in stories that soothe hearts and spark wonder.

With love and gratitude,
Mel 🩵

🌈 My Mission

Nurturing creativity and mindfulness in every child.As both a parent and educator, I’ve seen how quickly childhood can be filled with noise, screens, and pressure.
Miska Minds was born from a desire to slow things down — to bring imagination, empathy, and wonder back into learning.

I believe in nurturing both hearts and minds.
Whether it’s a bedtime story, a classroom worksheet, or a journal prompt, my mission is to create gentle tools that help children feel seen, capable, and loved.

Through stories, worksheets, and journals, I aim to help children feel calm, confident, and curious.

📚 What I Create

• 🌙 Magical bedtime stories that help little minds slow down and feel safe
• 🌟 Bilingual picture books that celebrate diversity and belonging
• 💭 Mindful journals that teach self-awareness and gratitude
• ✏️ Teacher resources that make social-emotional learning simple and joyful

Each creation grows from my classroom experience as an Education Assistant — and from the heart of a mum who believes learning should always feel safe, kind, and magical.
