Children's Storytime: Our Joyful Noise

Gabriele Davis, a freelance writer and former children's magazine editor, is the author of two children's books, Peaches and Our Joyful Noise. Join us for storytime, where she will read Our Joyful Noise and lead kids through a related craft.

As a child, Gabriele longed to see families like hers reflected in the books she read. Now she gets to make that happen for other underrepresented readers. Our Joyful Noise is a joyful, jazzy picture book following a Black family through a week of shared moments and simple pleasures, woven through with hidden musical jewels from spirituals and songs.

Gabriele enjoys creating works that inspire children to laugh, love, discover their inner strength, and feel seen. Peaches, released in May 2024, was Gabriele's debut picture book. Her second book, Our Joyful Noise, followed in Fall 2024. She lives in the Northwest Hills of Connecticut where she tutors, teaches yoga, bikes, and writes. She is a member of 12x12, KidLit in Color, and SCBWI.
