About
Michele McAvoy is a multi-award-winning children’s book author, publisher, attorney, and educator from New Jersey. While Michele wears many hats, they all point towards a single goal, bring entertaining and meaningful stories to kids. As a child, Michele read Judy Blume and drew Garfield comics. For her 10th birthday, she asked for a pink typewriter. Michele always loved the smell of new books. Now all grown-up (typewriters near obsolete) she loves bringing joy to children through her own stories. Michele’s published titles include Willa the Werewolf, Buckingham Gets A New Shell, Cookie & Milk, and Toby Undone. Michele is represented by Dan Cramer at Page Turner Literary Agency.
I know firsthand the power of books for emotional wellbeing. After tragically losing my father, I turned to writing to heal.
Books can be that desperate glimmer of light or hint of color for a child when life gets messy.
