Susan and Lexi Haas are a mother- daughter writing team focusing on disability education and advocacy. They are the authors of middle grade stories including Fooled and The Year of the Buttered Cat. Lexi has a rare and severe form of cerebral palsy. While she can’t walk or talk, she was reading by the time she was ten months old and has an impressive memory, a keen sense of humor, and an invincible spirit. Recognizing her young daughter’s gift for words, Susan began writing with Lexi to help foster independence and develop communication, but soon learned that Lexi’s fresh perspective needed to be shared with others. In addition to writing together, Susan and Lexi enjoy presenting to schools and organizations around the world, helping others learn about disability from a first- person narrative. They live in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Susan and Lexi are represented by Karen Grencik.
