Hello! I’m Terrie Lynn Birney.
I am a first-time children’s picture book author who has
Cerebral Palsy. When I was born, the doctors said I would be “vegetable”
my whole life. To those doctors I say “Ha, take that!” Not only am I pursuing a
career in writing children’s books, I graduated from college with an associate
degree in computer science. Since I can remember, I have enjoyed writing,
especially about my feelings. My dedication to writing has grown in the last
year with my newly published first book, with more in the future. Belief in
myself is stronger with my faith as a Christian. I am grateful to have my
loving husband for over twenty years and the support of my family. They have
been with me throughout my journey.
I hope you enjoy my books.
