Author Bio:
Hannah Jessen Conway loves words––reading, writing, and, most recently, learning to sign them. With a background in nonprofit marketing, she published her debut children’s book Love Sounds Like in 2024, inspired by the birth of her deaf son. Driven to share heartfelt stories that celebrate inclusion, connection, and the power of family love, she’s proud to introduce her second children’s book, Pop Pop Is My Hero. When she’s not dreaming up her next story at a coffee shop, Hannah can be found cheering on the Tar Heels with her college sweetheart, wrangling her two wild and wonderful boys, or escaping to the North Carolina coast. She and her family live in Raleigh, NC, with their mischievous rescue mutt.
