About
Peggy Kan Hai is a soul-led writer, mother, and longtime therapist who believes in the power of storytelling to heal, connect, and inspire. With nearly 30 years of experience in psychotherapy, life coaching, and educational therapy, she has supported children and adults through learning challenges, developmental trauma, relationship healing, and life transitions. Her writing gently bridges those lived experiences with a deep understanding of the human heart and mind.
Her children’s books — including Abby’s First Day and the upcoming When the Stars Linger — offer young readers comfort, courage, love and a sense of belonging. Her inspirational works draw from decades of professional experience and personal healing to meet readers in their most honest, sacred moments.
Through every page, Peggy’s message is clear: we are not defined by what we’ve been through, but by the choices we make and the light we choose to carry forward.
She is the founder of Golden Thread Press, a sanctuary for soulful storytelling, and lives in Hawai‘i with her partner and her daughter Kaʻewa, who inspires much of her creative magic — just as her son Brandon did in his childhood, and still does today as a grown man who continues to inspire her every day.
