Michelle Mann is the best-selling author of over a dozen books on parenting, motherhood, and the emotional wellbeing of children. A native New Yorker, with a degree in psychology and four children of her own, Michelle is able to bring both her personal and professional experience to the page.
In her self-help and parenting books such as Raising Strong-Willed Toddlers, Parenting Preschoolers 2 to 5 Years Old, and The Crying Baby Mann offers practical hacks and actionable advice for new and growing families. Acutely aware of the stressors and challenges that parents face, she takes a therapeutic approach with a spiritual influence in guides such as Mantras for Women, 500 Daily Affirmations for Anxiety and How to Make Time for Me: A Self Care Guide to Motherhood. In her recent LGBTQ self-help books, Mann has focused on supporting parents and families with non-binary children. Her best-selling series My Non-Binary Child is a three-book exploration of the wide range of issues, questions, and opportunities for understanding presented in a family with an LGBTQ or gender-fluid child. Mann has written a straightforward guide for a highly nuanced subject. The books empower parents and children in their journey with insight and sensitivity. Mann facilitates a discussion of gender identity that provides useful information about pronouns, body dysmorphia and dysphoria, societal misunderstandings, binders, puberty blockers, and stages of transitioning. Perhaps most vitally, however, she gives voice to non-binary children, showing parents and families what the world looks and feels like from their perspective. As Mann balances the demands and challenges of raising a family, she plans to continue writing books that encourage, advise and inspire parents and children in a diverse and forward-looking society. |
