Behind the books
Meet Tessa Peterson
Hi, I’m Tessa.
I’m a children’s book author, a mom, and a grandmother from Mississippi. I’m originally from Petal and have called Jones County home for the past 26 years.
I love writing stories that families can share together—stories about love, curiosity, and the little adventures that become lasting memories. Through Blue Hat Press, I get to bring Grandma Rose, Pawpaw, Winston, and their worlds to life.
The little dog in my arms is Winston, my granddog and the star of his own adventures.
