Kevin Cordeiro began writing children’s stories as a way to explore the gentle, meaningful moments that shape childhood—those quiet spaces where feelings grow, lessons are learned, and kindness matters most. Inspired by life on a New England farm and a very real alpaca named Hermey, Kevin creates stories that help young readers navigate emotions, build confidence, and discover the power of empathy.

The Hermey the Alpaca picture book series blends warm, engaging storytelling with thoughtful life lessons, inviting children to slow down, reflect, and see the beauty in everyday moments. Through Hermey and his farm friends, Kevin explores themes of belonging, resilience, sharing, and courage—always in a way that feels comforting, accessible, and full of heart.

Kevin believes children’s books should feel welcoming, never intimidating—stories that are read together, talked about, and revisited again and again. His goal is to create books that spark meaningful conversations between children and the adults who read with them, leaving impressions that linger long after the final page is turned.
