Meet the Author!

Hi, I’m A. B. Wade.

I’m a children’s book author, but more than that, I’m a dad to two boys who remind me every day why stories matter.

When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me at the kitchen table helping with homeschool lessons, reading stories out loud, or answering the kind of big, unexpected questions kids tend to ask. Those moments have shaped the way I write more than anything else.

My books are built on simple, engaging stories for kids, but with deeper meaning woven in for the adults reading alongside them. I’ve always believed the best stories don’t just entertain… they stick with you, grow with you, and sometimes even say something new the second (or tenth) time around.

Everything I create is rooted in real life, lessons about friendship, confidence, loss, and figuring out who you are.

Because at the end of the day, I’m not just writing books.

I’m writing the kinds of stories I hope my boys carry with them long after they’ve outgrown them.
