I’m Charlotte Glaze, an author and illustrator passionate about creating children’s books that encourage dreams, strengthen character, and bring joy to young hearts.

Personal Life
I live in Oklahoma with my husband and two children. When not creating stories or art, you’ll find me:
- Volunteering at school or church
- Traveling the National Parks
- Belting out show tunes

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
