In a world where grown-ups often forget how to giggle, Keiana Green-Page never did.
She’s not just a children’s book author; she’s a joy worker, a believer in silliness, and a builder of worlds where young readers are free to laugh out loud, ask big questions, and explore without limits. Her debut book, Clucky Comes Home, might follow the light-hearted misadventures of a runaway chicken, but it carries a deeper message about imagination, identity, and the quiet power of being playful on purpose.
“Allowing ourselves to have the freedom to be silly unlocks a world of possibilities,” Keiana says. “That’s what I want children to feel when they read my book.”
Joy, in Keiana’s hands, isn’t a distraction. It’s a creative act of resistance and a tool for liberation.
Serious About Being Silly
Yes, she’s silly. She giggles at her own drawings. She loves concerts and cookies. But don’t mistake that joy for frivolity. Keiana Green-Page is serious about being silly because she knows what it unlocks.
It unlocks imagination. It unlocks freedom. And in the hands of a child, it just might unlock the future.
Creative expression is a gift from God,” she says. “And I feel blessed any time I can use it to empower someone else.
From Crayons to Calling
Keiana shared with us that Clucky Comes Home wasn’t actually her first book. That honor goes to a childhood creation she made at just six or seven years old, a homemade book about how to grow a houseplant. The pages were made of typing paper, the cover was green construction paper, and the entire project was held together with staples and encouragement from her mom.
“I don’t remember the title,” she recalls, “but I do remember the sense of accomplishment I felt when my mom helped me make it.”
That early moment of creative joy left an imprint. Years later, after a career in journalism and advocacy, Keiana would return to storytelling with a mission: to inspire children through words, whimsy, and wide-open imagination.
A Story That Smiles Back
At the heart of Clucky Comes Home is the belief that kids don’t just deserve stories, they deserve stories that smile back at them. With vibrant illustrations and a chicken whose dreams are far bigger than his coop, Keiana’s book encourages children to imagine without apology.
Her approach is intentional. In a literary landscape where children’s books about marginalized communities often focus on hardship, Keiana flips the script. She centers joy, curiosity, and silliness not as escape, but as fuel.
When someone enjoys reading, they’re given a key to freedom,” she says. “I believe literacy changes lives.
Power in Every Page
Keiana’s publishing company, Power Communications LLC, isn’t just about putting a book in print; it’s about building platforms for liberation through literacy. Clucky Comes Home has already been shared in schools, used to support English learners, and sparked smiles from children who see themselves reflected on the page.
And while she’s just getting started, one thing is already clear: joy is her superpower, and she’s using it to change the narrative one laugh, one page, and one child at a time.
