Celeste Clevenger

Celeste Clevenger has been writing stories since she was a child—curled up in a corner, pen in hand, listening as the words almost wrote themselves. That part hasn’t changed. The stories still come when they’re ready, and the characters still take on a life of their own.

She writes children’s books as Celeste Clevenger and young adult novels as C.C. Baker. She is also the author of *Celeste’s Best Gluten-Free, Allergen-Free Recipes*, a cookbook that grew out of years of creating recipes for her family and others living with food allergies and dietary restrictions.

With a background in Early Childhood Education, Celeste spent years working with children, leading story hours, and hosting art workshops—experiences that continue to shape her books and resources for children.

Celeste lives in Nebraska, soaking up big skies and bright, sunny days, waiting for the next character to step forward and demand a story of their own.
