About Abby Mathews
The Little Prince might tell you Abby Mathews is one of the few grown-ups who really does remember being a child, and her mother will tell you she's like Peter Pan and never really grew up.
Abby loves magical stories about talking animals, friendship, and trying to fit in even when you feel like you don’t belong.
She draws her inspiration from nearly a decade’s worth of pretending to be the adult in a 9th grade classroom and all those times she tried to hide her own amazingly embarrassing father as a kid.
She lives on a hobby farm in Florida with her husband and two daughters, who are only now starting to realize that their mom is weird. They also rescue animals who are equally weird, like the one-horned unigoat, the hog who thinks he’s a dog, a very bossy cow, and a naked parrot whose favorite words are ones you shouldn’t say at school.
