Brandi Dougherty

I was born and raised in Kalispell, Montana at the base of the Rocky Mountains and steps from Glacier National Park. Though I love my breathtaking home and try to be in nature when I can, the big city always called to me. After college, I made my way to the east coast and settled in New York City. I spent eight years working in publishing and it was during this time that I cultivated my own writing for children and published my first picture book, The Littlest Pilgrim. Much to my delight, The Littlest Pilgrim landed on the New York Times bestseller list in 2008. I moved to California in 2009 and started to pursue writing and freelance editing full time. Along with three middle grade novels and a Pixar picture book, I’ve written twelve Littlest picture books, four books in Giada de Laurentiis's Recipe for Adventure series, along with the chapter book series Wild Fairies and Bark Park. I now call sunny Los Angeles my home where I wrangle two adorable kids with my husband, Joe. Please visit me at www.brandidougherty.com Thanks for stopping by!
