Paula Banks has been writing stories since high school, turning her love for storytelling into award-winning children's books like Peyton's First Day at a New School and Dream Big: Peyton's Hip-Hop Adventure. Her work has earned her multiple awards and a special place in the hearts of young readers.
Paula is passionate about closing the representation gap in children's literature, creating stories where every child can see themselves. She brings diverse voices and experiences to life in a way that’s both relatable and inspiring.
When she's not writing, Paula loves spending time at home with her husband of 24 years, Charles, and their two sons, now in their 20s. She finds inspiration in everyday life, crafting stories that entertain and help kids develop a love for reading. And whenever she needs a creative spark, she’s likely listening to some good hip-hop tunes while dreaming up her next adventure.
