Drawing from firsthand experience with her children, one of whom has ADHD, Lauren understands the unique challenges families face when building literacy skills. This book does not just offer theoretical solutions; it provides tested strategies that work in real homes, with real families facing real challenges. It emerged from her quest to find answers when traditional literacy approaches weren't working. She has researched, tested the strategies, and refined the solutions so other parents don't have to start from scratch.

Her passion for literacy extends beyond her family, as she serves as a StoryMaker with PaperPie, matching young readers with books that spark imagination and build foundations for lifelong learning. This work is informed by her 12 years of financial expertise in government and corporate sectors, where her analytical approach ensures both accuracy and efficiency.

As a military spouse who has lived across the United States, Lauren has mastered the art of creating community wherever her family's journey leads, currently heading to Wisconsin with her husband and four children. Between unpacking boxes, advocating for literacy, and managing finances, she channels her diverse experiences into writing stories that resonate with readers of all ages.

Lauren balances her professional success with her dedication to family, bringing a unique perspective shaped by multiple relocations and the beautiful chaos of raising four children. Her writing, which she's been crafting since childhood, draws inspiration from these rich life experiences, creating authentic connections through both her professional work and creative pursuits.
