Sara Madden is an author, historian, and lifelong lover of stories. She writes children's books that encourage imagination, compassion, and confidence, often weaving together themes of friendship, curiosity, and the beauty of being different. Her stories are inspired by history, nature, and the many children in her life who remind her that magic can be found in everyday moments. Sara is the founder of Velvet Pumpkin Books, where she creates stories for young readers that honor creativity, diversity, and wonder. When she isn't writing, she can be found collecting ideas from museums, watching hummingbirds, and dreaming up new adventures for her next book.
