About

I am Latarsha Lytle, a STEM BIPOC professional woman and Children’s book author and illustrator who loves telling stories that feature quirky characters who embrace challenges as they discover more about the world around them - and themselves.

My writing spans PB, MG, and YA genres, combining elements of suspense and whimsy with heartfelt family relationships and heart tugs in fiction and non-fiction narratives.

  • My Why

    My writing, both fiction and nonfiction, centers around three key concepts: utilizing strengths in the face of adversity, leaving a lasting legacy, and embracing one's rightful place in a world that sometimes challenges our authenticity.

  • The Legacy I Hope To Leave

    I strive to leave a legacy of storytelling that empowers, enlightens, and entertains, helping children navigate the intricacies of life with resilience, compassion, and a belief in their own unique abilities.

  • My Storytelling Approach

    I love creating stories that are like masterpieces – blending words and pictures together to craft an amazing experience for the reader My stories unfold like a movie in my mind, and I write them lyrically. By combining the power of words and illustrations, my storytelling becomes a captivating showcase of their unique strengths..
