Caitlin Bangsund is an author who will not talk to you about the weather but does tend to overthink most other things in life. She takes refuge in the quiet morning hours before the rooster cock-a-doodle-doos (aka the three children and dog wake up). In spite of being a serial-rule-follower at heart, she loves to make people laugh and show off her enviable dance moves whenever the opportunity allows. If you are lucky, she will share her purse-hot-sauce with you! Bangsund is committed to spreading a message of hope. She uses the trial and trauma of childhood cancer, childhood disability, and the fear of almost losing her daughter - the star of her first book - to encourage both children and adults to be themselves and see beyond limitations (their own and others). She wishes we would all communicate in song, and that we could eat unlimited quantities of cookie dough! Her message is “press on and conquer” and make today the best day ever.
