Hi there, I'm Leslie Ralph, author of Where is Olive? I’m a working mom of three who writes and illustrates for moms and kids. My journey of writing for children begins with storytime. It started as reading the books on the shelf and evolved into an evening ritual of storytime improv with my kids. Inspired by their imagination and creativity, I started writing stories every morning before work to share later that night, and I couldn’t stop! Soon I had notebooks filled with stories.

Now, I’m sharing these stories with the big, wide world. I want to encourage kids to explore their great, big ideas.
