Bethany Baptiste

Bethany Baptiste grew up in Jacksonville, Florida where she thrived on southern food and stories. Now as a slightly responsible grown-up, she lives in a little brick house with her fiancé, three chaotic evil dogs, and too many books. Bethany holds two degrees in Early Childhood Education. For the last six years she's had the pleasure of teaching kids how easy it is to fall in love with reading and writing. When not prying a shoe from a Schnauzer’s jaws, she writes about Black kids with big hearts and little morals.
