About the Author
Jamaican-born Canadian author Delano Brown is a Registered Early Childhood Educator by day, working in the region of Simcoe County. He is a fresh face on the Canadian writing scene; his lyrically poetic style comes out in his debut picture book, titled My Neighborhood, Fall of 2026. He is passionate about being an understanding voice to each child who wants to see a reflection of themselves on the pages of a book.
Working in the educational arena, Delano continues to pen many relatable fiction stories that speak to student life and the joys, mistakes, and misunderstood moments of childhood. His current undertaking, titled School Up North, illustrated by Frank Morrison, captures the world of hot lunches, recess pranks, and community on a page that brings to life a voice displaying wit, zeal, and honesty.
When time permits, you can find Delano behind the lens of his camera or deep in his comic collection.
