Claudia Woolard is a children’s author, poet, musician, and teacher who creates heartwarming stories filled with friendship, imagination, gentle humor, and a touch of magic. Her books include the Reggie Cat Tales, featuring Reggie, a clever black cat whose adventures celebrate friendship, kindness, and curiosity, and the Charlotte & Louise Adventures, stories for growing readers featuring Louise and her loyal tabby cat, Charlotte. Drawing on her many years as a musician and teacher, Claudia often weaves music, creativity, courage, and the joy of trying something new into her stories. She believes that some of the best adventures begin with friendship—and that children should be encouraged to develop their imagination, curiosity, and creativity. Claudia lives in Ohio with her husband and their two cats, Reggie and Jasmine, who provide plenty of inspiration for her stories.
