Taline Badrikian

Having written a lot in her teen years it was probably predictable that Taline would end up writing a book as an adult.

It all came together when she had her first child and realized there was a gap in Armenian children's board books, and specifically those written in the Western Armenian dialect. She took on the challenge of creating her own book and successfully funded its publication in under 24 hours via Kickstarter.

Since that time in 2016, Taline has successfully written and published four books -- Armenian and English. As a self-published author, it was a steep learning curve but in the age of the Internet, anything is possible.

Taline's stories are fun and message-driven with adorable illustrations that babies, children, and adults will fall in love with instantly.
