Hello!

April Hartmann

Children's Book Author and Illustrator
Founder of My Little Growing Mindset

I am a published author and illustrator of children’s books. My artwork is featured in kids’ magazines, posters, on toys and packaging, plus I have illustrated many books for children. “The Dream Keepers” is my first book as a published author. It also teaches growth mindset, and is written for kids age 5-10.

As a growth mindset author and an illustrator of toddler books, combining both is a perfect fit for me.
