Carly Anderson

Before she was a full-time content creator, Carly was a classroom teacher who believed books could open doors to the biggest conversations. Now she’s a tween mom navigating the in-between years — where reading habits shift, friendships get complicated, and car rides turn into therapy sessions. She’s passionate about helping families keep reading alive through the middle school years and creating space for honest, age-appropriate conversations about growing up. You can find Carly on her blog, Lipgloss and Crayons, and on Instagram, where she shares practical, real-life encouragement for parents raising tweens.
