Abbey Olson's life has taken many twists and turns, but her love of children has remained constant. As an early childhood Montessori educator and mother of twins, Abbey strives to support children emotionally, socially, and academically.

Abbey is also a "recovering perfectionist" who took forty years to realize that constantly striving for perfection was exhausting and often unfulfilling. This turning point in her life led to significant personal growth. Since then, she's learned to laugh at herself, be kinder to herself, and make time for the things she truly enjoys like tennis, playing guitar, and hiking with her husband.

Abbey feels compelled to teach young children that it's okay to make mistakes and that nobody is perfect. This inspired her first children's book When I Grow Up I Want to Be Perfect.
