Danielle D. Tennison
About the Author
Danielle D. Tennison is the owner of DT Books and a proud native of Bluffton, South Carolina. A graduate of Hilton Head High School, she is the devoted mother of her daughter, Donshea Brown.
Born with a birth defect called spina bifida, Danielle was told she wouldn’t live past the age of five or accomplish much in life. But she defied the odds—and continues to do so every day. Now a published children’s book author and advocate for people with disabilities, Danielle uses her voice and stories to encourage acceptance, kindness, and hope.
She is the author of Shea Makes A New Friend, a touching children’s book about a little girl who may be a bit different—but quickly shows others that she’s a wonderful friend. The story is paired with a fun coloring and activity book that invites children to connect with Shea in creative ways.
Danielle is also a co-author of Dear Young Woman, a powerful anthology where she and other women share deeply personal stories of overcoming life’s challenges. Her chapter offers encouragement to women who may feel like giving up, reminding them that healing and hope are possible of everyone she encounters—in any way, shape, or form she possibly can.

Melissa T., Reader & Mental Health Advocate
“Danielle’s story in Dear Young Woman moved me deeply. It reminded me that even in my lowest moments, I’m not alone. Her courage and honesty gave me the strength to keep going.”
Mr. J. Miller, 2nd Grade Teacher
“The coloring book is such a great companion to Shea Makes A New Friend! It sparked meaningful conversations with my students about inclusion while keeping them engaged and creative. Highly recommend for teachers and parents alike.”
