About Us
- Solonge L. Robinson, Author -
Solonge L. Robinson is a wife, a mother, and a creative soul, who always enjoyed writing as a way of self expression and spent years in her youth journaling about her world travels with vision for something bigger. Solonge's love of writing evolved after the birth of her children where she quickly discovered reading bedtime stories each night was a magical adventure.
In 2018, after a tragic fire that destroyed all of her family's possessions, including their books, Solonge committed to restoring her children's collection starting with, When the Sun Comes Up and the Moon Goes Down. The debut book started out as a short, fun lullaby that was sung each night. Over time, it blossomed into content for their debut book.
​Solonge is thankful for the people, places and things that continue to inspire her, but is most grateful for her two rays of sunshine, Elijah and Nylah and biggest source of light and love, her husband, Don Robinson.
