Martine Foreman

Martine Foreman is determined to leave her mark on the world as the author of joyful and uplifting children’s books. Her desire to share messages of courage and hope, coupled with her gift of rhyme, allow her to create books that add a bit of sunshine to the lives they touch.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Martine fell in love with reading when she was just a bored kid hanging out in her Brooklyn apartment. She even got her first job working in the Brooklyn Public Library system as a teenager. Today, her work as an educator at a community college allows her to find inspiration in new and exciting ways. With 20 years of experience in higher education and over ten years of experience as a writer, she aims to help kids discover meaningful lessons through the pages of a book.

Motivated by the conviction that literature helps young people build confidence, tap into creativity, and discover joy, Martine uses her background as an educator and her life as a mom of three to guide her words and the vision for her books. She wants to help kids embrace the best parts of themselves through words and images representing who they are.

When she is not teaching or writing books, Martine enjoys hanging out with her family, eating brownies, reading, cycling, watching television, drawing, and listening to podcasts. She lives in Maryland with her husband and their three book-loving kids.
