About The Author
Kelly is the creator of her own uniquely shaped family. She writes silly, funny books for kids. Feminism, inclusion, and potty humor are her jam.
Kelly tackles topics like neurodiversity, gender, and why you shouldn’t steal bananas from a monkey. Her books have won the MOONBEAM GOLD MEDAL for best picture book series, and have received the STORY MONSTERS SEAL OF APPROVAL.
She's a storyteller with the biggest laugh in the room. These books come from the heart… and a gazillion hours of bedtime story experience. Her children’s stories are perfect to read aloud to your little humans, or to have your older kids read themselves (hey, let them flex those new reading skills!).
Kelly’s made a game of teaching her kids how to spot bad old ideas, which has led to a family list of children’s books which support modern values. Some favorites are Julian is a Mermaid, Boys Wear Pink and, of course, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.
Kelly's books are dyslexia-friendly. She's a proud member of the International Dyslexia Association.
