About Susan
A fox with a question, a moon full of cheer,
Hand-drawn friends all gather near.
In Susan’s tales, hearts find their tune—
You belong, like stars and the moon.
A Canvas of Imagination
In every child's heart, their lives a pocketful of stardust and a trail of breadcrumbs leading to hidden worlds where anything is possible.
Susan Straub-Martin, a whimsical children's book author, illustrator, and joyful explorer, she dips her brushes into these magical places to bring them to life.
Her journey didn't begin in a bustling city studio, but in the whispery woods and glimmering lakes of her childhood. Places where the trees and her grandfather told enchanting stories. These gentle beginnings stitched themselves into her art, where animals speak in kindness, stars twinkle with delight, and every illustration feels like a hug wrapped in wonder.
Susan's stories welcome little readers to tiptoe through tales of opposites and adventure, while quietly learning the big-hearted lessons of empathy, courage, and connection.
