Bonni Lyn Kuhn believes the best stories start with a question. What if? What happens next? What is the secret? She has spent years asking these questions and turning the answers into delightful adventures for young readers.
Bonni lives in Connecticut with her faithful sidekick, a dog named Finnegan. Together they explore new trails, take long bike rides, and discover the little wonders hiding in plain sight. Every outing sparks a new idea. A butterfly on a leaf. A frog by a pond. A boy fishing with his dad. These moments find their way into her stories.
She has written three charming books for children, each one bursting with colorful illustrations and playful characters. Her stories celebrate the small triumphs of childhood. The first fish. The first bike ride. The first time a child says “I did it myself.” Her words capture the wonder and the wiggles of growing up.
Bonni is a proud member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. This community keeps her connected to other creators who share her passion for children’s literature. She learns from them. She grows with them. She pours that growth into every new story.
When she is not writing, Bonni visits schools to share her love of storytelling with young audiences. She shows them how a simple idea can become a book. She encourages them to write their own adventures. She knows that every child has a story inside them.
Her writing is warm and inviting, like a cozy blanket on a rainy day. She never talks down to children. She trusts them to feel, to wonder, and to discover. Her words invite young readers to lean in, turn the page, and find out what happens next.
Bonni writes because she believes every child deserves to feel the magic of their own first try. That is her purpose. That is her gift. And she is just getting started.
