Ali Vander Baan

Childrenโ€™s Book Author

Hi, Iโ€™m Ali!

Writer, dreamer, and magic believer

I am a mom of two wild and wonderful boys, a pediatric acupuncturist, and a writer who delights in the daily adventure of seeing the world through the eyes of children.

I am forever in awe of their natural gifts of imagination, curiosity, and intuition and I aspire to appeal to and nurture those gifts.

As an acupuncturist, my work of healing with needles and โ€œpotionsโ€ often feels like magic. I like to think I wield my own kind of magic with a pen and paper, crafting magic recipes of make believe to enchant, inspire and transport my readers.

Iโ€™m currently on the journey to traditional publication, exploring every step with the same sense of wonder I hope my readers feel when they open one of my books.
