Katie FriedmanKatie lives in Chicago with her husband and two kids. An avid reader and lover of books, Katie left her marketing career behind during the pandemic to pursue her passion - writing! The Shape of Parenting is her first children's book series. She gets er inspiration from her kids and likes to write about everyday topics that she finds her children routinely curious about. She wrote "The Glowing Rectangle" after finding herself and her husband often distracted by their phones and missing out on small but meaningful moments with their kids.

Whether it's screen time and phones or money and credit cards, Katie hopes the common and relatable subjects her books cover can help other families learn, laugh and spend more time together.
