I’m a writer who believes in the power of a brave idea and a creative mess. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.

Person walking on a narrow wooden path in a forest with bare trees.

I’m Brianna Booker, an Ohio-based author and illustrator creating heartfelt children’s books, poetry, and personal projects that explore big feelings, silly ideas, and the joy of being real.

My stories are stitched together from:

  • The playful: like Percy the Pickle, a brave little pickle on a mission.

  • The personal: like my memoir What Endometriosis Couldn’t Take from Me, one of several books about chronic illness I’ve written to raise awareness and offer comfort.

  • The tender: like days spent drawing frogs, festivals, & other joys.

I grew up in Ohio and now live in Troy, Ohio, where I write, illustrate, and spend weekends exploring local shops and festivals. You can find my books at Samozrejme and other small businesses around downtown Troy, or browse signed children’s books and updates right here on my site.

These days, I go by Brianna Adams in daily life, but I write under my maiden name because let’s be honest, “Booker” just fits when you’re writing books. If you’ve found me through local word of mouth or were searching for authors near Dayton or Troy, Ohio, I’m so glad you’re here.
