Doreen Ludka Maulhardt
My love for children's book writing began after my sister moved to South Africa. I wanted to write my niece, Amanda, a story for her birthday. I had never written a story before but I thought, "Oh, I'll give it a go." I started crafting Amanda and the Magic Pocketbook - and as I was writing, I found a new love. From there, my love for writing grew. As I watched the imaginative play of my own daughter and her friends, I was inspired to write new stories. I participated in writers' workshops, classes, and critique groups every chance I could get, and became a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators.
As I found my voice, I realized I wanted to write stories that would encourage open discussions with young children regarding challenging issues... and hopefully in the end, bring a smile!
Now with young grandchildren, I continue to write with new inspiration
to help them read, learn and grow. I hope you, too, will be inspired by
my continuing collection of children's books and share them with the
little ones in your life. Find them here >>
