Lynn Becker has been a reader and creator all her life. These days, when she’s not dreaming up picture books, she’s hiking, doing crazy-long yoga classes, and writing children’s book reviews for Shelf Awareness online magazines. She has an MFA from California Institute of the Arts, and has worked in animation.

​

After growing up in New York, Lynn spent many years in the Southern California desert with her husband, children, cats, dog, and lots and lots of chickens. She now lives in Colorado. The chickens stayed behind, but a few mythical beasties may have followed her to her new home…! ​
 

Her debut picture book, MONSTERS IN THE BRINY, illustrated by Scott Brundage (Sleeping Bear Press), was named a Bank Street College Best Children’s Book of 2022 and a Betsy Bird/School Library Journal Best Readaloud for that year. JUNE MOON, a board book illustrated by Nate Carvalho, was recently published by Familius.
