The Family Harrington

Meet the Author: Brandi Harrington 

​

Children’s author, university lecturer, mom of three, coffee enthusiast, and adventure seeker. Brandi Harrington wears a lot of hats, and chances are at least one of them has a little kid’s handprint on it.

A Washington girl at heart, Brandi loves Jesus, people, and exploring the country with her family in their converted Sprinter van. Think national parks, cute coffee shops, and making memories wherever the road leads.

​

But the stories she writes come from somewhere deeper. After her youngest son was born seven weeks early and later diagnosed with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, Brandi discovered just how much it matters for children and families to feel seen, understood, and less alone. That journey inspired her to write children’s books celebrating disability inclusion, resilience, and the beautiful ways we are all created.

​

Through her six books, Brandi hopes to spark conversations, grow compassion, and remind every child that they belong. Because every child deserves to see themselves in a story, and every family deserves a little more hope.

​

When she’s not writing, teaching, or chasing the next family adventure, you can probably find her with a coffee in hand, dreaming up her next book or planning the next stop on the map. Her favorite kind of story? One that reminds us we’re never as different as we think.
