Melanie Burgess

Melanie Burgess is a children’s author and artist whose stories and artwork are inspired by her faith in God and the beauty of His creation.

In 2016, Melanie prayed and asked God to give her creative ideas and use the artistic abilities He had given her. Through prayer, inspiration, and a lifelong love for nature and animals, her stories began to grow into the books she creates today.

Inspired by wildlife, camping, birds, and the outdoors, Melanie’s books combine heartfelt storytelling, humor, imagination, and educational themes for children and families to enjoy together.

Melanie is the creator of Stinky Owl, To Be Or Knot To Be, Fingerprints of God, and the upcoming Cats Cats Everywhere Cats. She lives in western Maryland with her amazing husband, family, German Shepherds, and cats.
