Susanne Benton

Susanne is a preschool teacher, certified parent coach and nationally board certified massage therapist. She has a degree in Child and Family Studies, and has spent the last 25 years working closely with children and families to encourage well-being through play and mindfulness. Her specialty is to combine her expertise in massage and relaxation with her specialty in play and imagination, to create happy and calming moments for families at the end of the day. She writes bedtime stories, and records meditations for children. Susanne is also a mom, step-mom and grandparent (to one grandchild and one granddog!) She lives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with her husband. Together they explore the wonders of "nature with a captial N."

Her children’s board book, Dragon O’Clock will be released in 2026.

Susanne’s other books include Big is Small and Small is Big; Mind, Body, Bedtime; and Except for Thomas.
