About Frank

I am a licensed psychologist and a multi, award-winning author of over 15 picture books, as well as a parenting book on raising children with chronic medical illnesses. His books have been recipients of various prestigious book awards and have been translated into four foreign languages. Dr. Sileo speaks across the country, published in psychological journals, and is one the ‘go to’ psychologist in the media. My school author visits focus on a discussion on the journey of how a book is created, a reading of the book, and then a fun discussion and activity based on the book. I love to bring social emotional learning to children (and the adults in their lives!).
