AUTHOR BIO:

Before writing for children, Molly McPatrick worked with diverse populations as a primary teacher, curriculum writer, conference presenter, and university educator. Through years of experience in classrooms and academic settings, she developed a passion for stories that support young readers as they grow in confidence and character.

After a series of life-changing events, Molly felt called to begin authoring books for children and families to enjoy together. She believes shared reading experiences are powerful opportunities to introduce responsibility, kindness, and problem-solving in compassionate and humorous ways. Molly is dedicated to creating family-oriented stories with universal themes that bring people together—especially during the important early years of learning to read.
