Our First Creative Branches Author Reading

Our spring reading will be announced soon

6-7:30pm Children’s author readings

Ever since she was very young Susanne has been captivated by the natural world and the creatures in it. It wasn’t until 2018 when Susanne found herself in a course on digital illustration where a long-familiar joy re-ignited her passion for writing stories from nature. Susanne now spends her days wandering through the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest from the land of Hillsboro, Oregon. She enjoys capturing the sights, sounds and stories the forest and its creatures have to share. It is what brings her joy!
