Hi, I’m Andi.

Business owner, coffee roaster, kid wrangler, and…

Children’s Book Author!

No matter how you know me, I’m happy you’re here! Reading is one of life’s true joys, and writing for kids is such an honor. I’m excited to be able to share my stories with the world!

In addition to the above, I host a virtual monthly story time called Storytime Sprint, where my colleague Ryann Jones and I interview picture book authors as they read their new books. Whether you’re a librarian, parent, or just plain interested in new picture books, please join us!

I hope you enjoy my debut board book for toddlers and preschoolers, BANANAS IN THE BATH. It’s safe to say I’m pretty bananas about it!

Thanks for stopping by, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions, comments, or just to say hi :)

You can contact me HERE.

I’m represented by Jen Newens of Martin Literary
