Long Bio (150 words)
Beth Linehan is a children's book author and registered nurse who writes stories
about empathy, belonging, and the quiet courage of being yourself. As a mom to
five unique children in a blended family - including kids with Down syndrome,
autism, and ADHD - Beth understands firsthand how hard it can be to find books
that truly represent every kind of kid.
Her debut picture book, T-Teighan Says We're Different and That's OK,
was inspired by her daughter and celebrates differences with warmth and honesty.
Her second book, (title reveal on November 27 - stay tuned!), releases in December 2025.
When she's not writing or nursing, Beth is advocating for inclusive representation
in children's literature, speaking at schools and libraries, and creating resources
for families navigating uniqueness with love. She lives in Burrillville, Rhode Island,
with her husband and their beautifully chaotic crew.
