Liv treasures the adventures, laughter, and endless inspiration she finds in life's company. Her love for family, nature, and adventure shines brightly through every story she writes. I’m Liv McLean, a Canadian children’s author and illustrator based in sunny Wasaga Beach, Ontario—a place where every day feels like the start of a new adventure. My stories blend imagination with heart, inviting yo
ung readers into worlds where curiosity, kindness, and growth take center stage. While I create all my books with a hands-on artistic touch, I also embrace tools like AI to enhance my process—whether it’s refining ideas, designing playful visuals, or bringing characters to life. Every page features my original story and artwork, ensuring each story remains rooted in the warmth and authenticity I strive for. Through my books, I transform everyday moments into magical adventures - stories that inspire kids to think, laugh, wonder, and grow. Whether it’s learning about kindness, accountability, or the importance of being yourself, my stories are filled with gentle lessons wrapped in fun, imaginative tales. Perfect for beachside reading, bedtime snuggles, or lazy afternoons under a maple tree, these books are beloved by teachers, parents, and most importantly, kids who can’t wait to turn the next page. Want to stay in the loop for new releases, story time activities, and seasonal surprises? Give my page a like or follow—it’s the best way to bring more joy, wonder, and Canadian storytelling into your home. Here’s to a magical, book-filled summer - from my heart to your bookshelf.
