ABOUT AJ IRVING

• AJ Irving
  grew up in Boise, Idaho, writing stories and daydreaming about becoming an
  author. Now, she writes picture books and poetry on her big back porch in a
  tiny town near Jackson, Wyoming. AJ reads kidlit every day and dances
  every chance she gets. She is the author of Dance Like a Leaf (Barefoot Books, 2020) and a soon-to-be announced picture book
  celebrating queer girl friendship (summer 2023).

  As a
  children’s author and former bookmobile librarian, AJ is passionate about
  inspiring kids to love books. When she’s not
  reading, writing, or dancing, she enjoys exploring the Wyoming wilderness with
  her husband, two children, and their English bulldog.

  AJ
  received a B.A. in journalism and women’s and gender studies from the
  University of Oregon. She is represented by Jordan
  Hamessley of New Leaf Literary. Learn more at www.ajirving.com
