Meet the Author

Dean B. Xeros is a first-time children's book author who believes some of life's most meaningful memories are created through imagination, storytelling, and time shared together.

While his professional career has focused on building businesses and partnerships, creating stories that spark wonder and connection has always been close to his heart. Through Pickly Pickly's Shoebox World, Dean hopes to encourage children to dream freely, embrace curiosity, and discover comfort in the warmth of family, friendship, and home.

Inspired by the special moments shared with his daughter, Demmye, Dean now hopes to bring that same sense of joy, creativity, and cozy adventure to families everywhere.
