About the author
Catherine Ortiz-Lopez
3 books1 followerI’m Catherine Ortiz-Lopez, a children’s book author, working mom, and mom of two little girls who inspire so much of what I write.
I created The Working Parent Collection from moments in our own family life—the everyday things that may seem small to us as parents but can feel really big to our children. From Mommy going to work, to Daddy working from home, to a little sister watching her big sister head to ballet class, my stories are inspired by the world my daughters are growing up in.
My hope is to create simple, comforting stories that children can see themselves and their families in, while reminding them that no matter what the day looks like, they are always loved.
My love of reading with children has also grown beyond my own books through read-aloud events and my storytime podcast, where I get to share even more stories with little listeners.
I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, with my husband and our two daughters—and I have a feeling they’ll keep giving me plenty of ideas for what to write next.
