Instructor Background
Caroline and Katherine Brickley are twin sisters and award-winning local children’s book authors. Their most recent picture book, The Friendly Bookshelf, is about an adorable library bookshelf named Bibli and his journey to find a story about someone like him. In addition to writing inspiring picture books, Caroline and Katherine develop an assortment of enriching media and products based on their stories, from huggable plushies to learning games and catchy songs. With backgrounds in creative writing, education, and child psychology, the Brickley Sisters also enjoy working with children through learning programs and in-person events to help young storytellers discover their voices and share their own stories.
