STORY OF CARLI VALENTINE- AUTHOR, ILLUSTRATOR

Books_edited.png

Carli Valentine is a Best Selling Children's Book Author and Illustrator.  She has authored books including Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch, Turkey Trot, and Christmas is  a Feeling and BIG Plans for Tomorrow, Extra Special Heart, Bad Habit Rabbit and The Fun Thieves with many more in the works.

 

She has always been passionate about writing and storytelling.  From a young age, she learned of the magic that existed in books and has been entranced by it ever since.  As a child, she consistently begged her parents for visits to the library so she could hand-pick from their vast collection of magical works.  Her parents frequently caught her hiding under her bedcovers sneaking a book she couldn't put down, long into the night.  It must have been the warm, soft glow of the reading light that gave her away! 

​

Her goal as  mother and an author, is to spread the magic of books to children so they can join in her obsession of reading. She loves to create fun stories by gathering inspiration from her kids. She resides with her husband and 2 boys (Finnegan and Lochlan) in Ogden, Utah.   When she's not working on her children’s books she likes to hang out with her family and volunteer at her son’s elementary school and with various children’s heart defect charities.
