Brittany Richman’s three energetic kids are her proudest accomplishment. She and her husband are raising them (and their rambunctious goldendoodle, Rocky) in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Brittany is cofounder of The American Moms blog and a former White House staffer. She holds an MFA in Writing for Children. Brittany has been partially deaf since childhood. So when she first noticed a photo of deaf pilot Nellie Zabel Willhite hanging in her local airport, she was intrigued. She soon learned Nellie deserved more than just a photo. She hopes Nellie’s story will inspire children everywhere to see their own potential for greatness and soar to heights they never thought possible.
