Amanda Cribb is a children’s book author who writes from the heart with a passion for transforming big feelings into beautifully written, simple stories. With a background in Forensic Psychology, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Creative Writing, she crafts narratives that help young readers—and the adults who love them—navigate mental health with empathy and clarity.

Based in Staten Island, NY, Amanda lives with her son and their lovable apricot poodle, Clooney. When she’s not writing, she’s usually curled up with a good book, sipping bubble tea, or volunteering with 826NYC to inspire the next generation of storytellers.

Amanda strongly believes that stories are bridges—and she’s here to build them, one gentle word at a time.
