Katie Benn

Born and raised in West Vancouver, Canada, my dog Maggie and I spend our time in the great outdoors of the west coast. With a varied educational and work history, I’ve spent most of my career working with children and in healthcare. Passionate about mental health, I pulled my writing inspiration from my drive to de-stigmatize and normalize mental health issues, through children’s books. As a post NCAA tennis athlete, I have an appreciation for hard work and perseverance- and respect for the mental toughness needed to go through that experience. I’m hoping that my stories are found relatable, and bring awareness to feelings and emotions we experience on a daily basis.
