About the Author

A Parent. A Traveler. A Storyteller.

Hi, I'm Caitlyn — a writer, parent, and lifelong museum enthusiast based in the heartland of America. What started as a family road trip to every children's museum in Iowa quickly became a mission: to help families discover the incredible educational adventures hiding in their own states.

I believe museums are where curiosity comes alive. The Let's Go Little Explorers series is my love letter to parents who want to raise adventurous, curious, and engaged kids — and to the amazing museum staff across America who make it happen every single day.

"The best education happens when kids don't realize they're learning — they're just too busy having fun."
