About the Author
Lilien Pinewood
After more than a decade spent arguing cases as a lawyer, Lilien Pinewood finally met her toughest client: her own son. Adorable? Absolutely. Willing to listen to anything resembling a direct instruction? Not a chance.Faced with bedtime battles that would make even the most seasoned attorney throw in the towel, she had to get creative. Instead of reaching for regular storybooks, she started making up her own tales on the spot, sometimes sneaking in whatever lesson or message she was trying to get across that night.
Her son’s massive excitement convinced her she was onto something. Years later, she’s no longer just telling these stories — she’s putting them into actual books.
Now she writes full-time, still negotiating bedtime treaties, and still losing most arguments—but winning at storytime.Lilien Pinewood lives with her family, where the laundry is never done, the hugs are endless, and the next story is always brewing. She hopes her books bring a few extra laughs, a little more listening, and a lot more magic to your family's evenings.
