Meet Patrice Coke
Hello! I am a children’s book author from Wichita, Kansas. I was raised in a small town and am the youngest of six.
As a mother of four, a grandmother of nine, and a teacher, I have seen the impact reading to a child at an early age can have. Having worked with children, I know the importance of not only reading but also imagination. I remember my childhood imaginary adventures. Because of that imagination, I started creating stories at a young age.
I also love to travel, and many of the little critters and animals I have seen along the way spark a story! (My husband and sisters can attest to that.) Hence, my new love of writing for children. I constantly draw inspiration and ideas from my travels and experiences for my writing.
We are a very close-knit family, and my grandchildren always inspire me. I write my books with them in mind and involve them in the creative process whenever possible.
