Dinner Table Distractions

Addison Gordon is ten years old; she has a younger sister who is three. Her favorite things to do are to play the piano and violin, sing, and practice gymnastics. She likes to cook with her mom, and when she's older, she hopes to be a chef and own her own bakery where the specialties will be biscuits and cake.

Young Authors Publishing is a nonprofit children's book publisher that exists to share the stories of children. We believe that all kids are story worthy and that every child should see themselves and their experiences reflected in the books they read. Our two-part mission is to produce diverse and culturally relevant children's books and to use book publishing as a vehicle to economic mobility for our young authors. Royalties from their book sales are deposited into a savings account for each young author to access at 18 to use toward their post-secondary plans.
