About
Hello from Texas!Ā
Wear your love of stories, live your love of reading.
Jaybie D. is a bookish clothing brand that blends creativity, comfort, and a love of reading into designs for toddlers, kids, teens, and adults. Known for playful artwork, seasonal collections, and a mix of warm, whimsical, and sometimes snarky or darkly humorous graphics, Jaybie D. creates apparel that celebrates the joy of stories and the magic of being yourself. Each design is crafted to spark imagination, confidence, and connection, making the clothing line a favorite for readers, teachers, families, and anyone who loves expressive, story-inspired style.
Alongside the clothing line, Jaybie D. is also the creator of a growing collection of award-winning childrenās picture books. The stories explore meaningful themes such as confidence, kindness, resilience, self-discovery, and emotional awareness. Titles like Mei-Mei Flying With Flair, Donkey Dell, Beware the Guarded Heart, Haunted House Day and Night, and Easter Bunny Blunders have earned national recognition, including multiple Creative Child Magazine Book of the Year Awards and the prestigious Momās Choice Award for Haunted House Day and Night. Each book is written with intention, giving young readers characters they can relate to and lessons they can carry with them.
At its heart, Jaybie D. exists to inspire connection, whether through a story shared at bedtime, a favorite hoodie that boosts confidence, or a design that helps someone feel seen. The brand's mission is to bring joy, encourage creativity, and help people celebrate reading in everyday life.
āJaybie D.ā is a pen name that blends my husbandās name with mine, it's a playful nickname that stuck (at least for our bookish endeavors). Heās been my biggest supporter and sounding board through every story, sketch, and idea.
If you're browsing the books section, donāt miss the free extras! Scroll down on any bookās page to hear a narrated flip book, download classroom resources, and explore activities that bring the story to life.
So whether youāre here for a story time read, a gift that makes someone smile, or a t-shirt that proudly declares your bookish side, I hope you find something to love (and revisit again and again).
Warmly,
Jaybie D. & Team
"Feel curious and brave with a story or bold and seen with clothing. I create both, because everyone deserves a little spark of magic in their day." ā Jaybie D.
