Like Princess Sophia, Shannon Flynn O’Brien knows what it’s like to feel like you don’t always fit in, but she believes that’s where the magic begins! Guided by her own winding path of healing and self-discovery, she’s found a calling: to help children and grown-ups alike unwrap the gift of their truest selves, to love every bit of who they are wholeheartedly and sprinkle that unconditional love to others far and wide. Once a devoted teacher in the Chicago area, Shannon has always believed that books hold secret doors to the most important conversations. Some of her most favorite adventures happened curled up under blankets with her two little dreamers and their playful pup, journeying together through story after story, where anything is possible and everyone belongs!
