Jasmine Lopez is a Filipina-Australian writer, illustrator, and mother whose heart beats for faith, family, and meaningful storytelling. Her journey through love and unimaginable loss led her to create Hope for the Unknown—a gentle, faith-filled book born from deep grief and the unwavering promise of God’s love.

In 2023, Jasmine lost her son, Ezra, at just four months old. The pain left her without words. In those quiet, aching moments, she turned to freehand drawing—a space where she could process, pray, and hear God’s whisper of comfort.

Soon after, Jasmine and her family were filled with hope again when she discovered she was expecting. Her children prayed every night, “Please, God, don’t let this baby die.” But just a week later, they experienced another heartbreaking loss. Through the tears of her little ones asking, “Why, Mum? Why again?”, Jasmine knew she had to write—not to explain the unexplainable, but to help families hold onto hope even when answers don’t come.

With tender words and warm illustrations, Jasmine pours her heart into creating books that bring light to families walking through grief. She believes that even in sorrow, love never leaves—and in the unknown, there is space to trust God more deeply than ever before.
