Michele McAvoy is an inspirational speaker, an award-winning children’s book author from New Jersey, and a children’s book publisher. As a child, she 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 books are uplifting and colorful and are meant to help children navigate through the natural bumps and curves of life. Michele currently has four published picture book titles with two more on the way! Her titles include Buckingham Gets A New Shell, (Pigman Books), multi-award winning Cookie & Milk (Cardinal Rule Press), The Gorilla Picked Me! (The Little Press), and the award-winning My Superhero Grandpa (The Little Press), Willa the Werewolf (coming September 2023) and Toby Undone (Clear Fork coming 2024). Michele’s books are sold at bookstores across the country as well as online. Pick up a copy! You can find Michele on social media @michele_mcavoy (Twitter) and @michelemcavoy (Instagram.)
