Juniper Lee Grace (Kim Wilcoxson) is the author and founder of The Dandelion Press, an independent company dedicated to stories that inspire kindness, imagination, and faith. Based in her hometown of Salida, Colorado, she writes from a deep appreciation for family, community, and the beauty of everyday life.
Her pen name, Juniper Lee Grace, is a tribute to her parents—June for her mother’s middle name and Lee for her father’s. The word Grace reflects her faith and the spiritual message that runs through everything she writes: that we are all held by something greater, and that love has the power to renew, forgive, and grow.
Juniper’s books range from children’s stories that celebrate joy and wonder to reflective works of faith that offer peace and encouragement. Each one is written with the hope of helping readers slow down, reconnect, and find meaning in small moments.
She lives in Salida, Colorado, with her husband, Bill, and their two doodle dogs, Wyatt and Hank. Family remains her greatest inspiration, and the titles she’s proudest to hold are Mom and Mimi.
