Aaron and LeAnn Crouse are a mother and son writing team whose shared love of family, kindness, and meaningful storytelling inspired their first children's book together, If Elephants Had Wings. LeAnn, a longtime professional hairstylist from Galesburg, Illinois, has spent decades building relationships through compassion and care, while Aaron, now a Texas resident of more than 25 years, serves families through his work in hospice care.

Together, they believe the best stories encourage imagination, celebrate individuality, and remind children they are loved exactly as they are. Their hope is to create books that bring families together and leave a lasting impact across generations.
