About

Avery Phillips

 

Avery Phillips is a creative and determined nine-year-old author and illustrator from Kansas. Her love of storytelling and art began at an early age, inspired by both her imagination and her resilience.

At just five months old, Avery was diagnosed with a rare seizure disorder that required intensive medical treatment. After nine months, she became seizure-free, but she faced developmental delays that required two years of occupational, physical, and early childhood therapies. By the age of four, Avery had not only caught up to her peers but had surpassed many developmental milestones.

Today, she excels in reading, writing, and mathematics and continues to thrive academically and creatively. Avery’s early experiences shaped her deep empathy and appreciation for perseverance. Her neurologist once affectionately called her a “unicorn” in recognition of her remarkable recovery. With determination, encouragement, and hard work, Avery has grown into a confident young storyteller who fills notebooks with imaginative tales and colorful illustrations.

The Timid Triangle and the Hyperactive Hexagon reflects Avery’s passion for creativity, inclusion, and problem-solving. Through friendly shapes, she explores themes of belonging, friendship, and emotional regulation while introducing foundational math concepts. Her original artwork accompanies the story, bringing her characters vividly to life.

When she grows up, Avery hopes to become an elementary school teacher so she can help other children discover their voices and nurture their creativity—just as her teachers have done for her.

    The Timid Triangle and the Hyperactive Hexagon

      What if being different is exactly what makes you special? In a playground full of shapes, a timid triangle feels like she doesn’t quite fit in—until she meets another triangle just like her. Together, they discover that when shapes join forces, they can create something entirely new. But when excitement turns into chaos, a powerful hexagon must learn that slowing down and listening are just as important as playing. Filled with warmth, humor, and gentle lessons about friendship, cooperation, and self-regulation, The Timid Triangle and the Hyperactive Hexagon blends early geometry concepts with social-emotional learning in a delightful story young readers will treasure. Perfect for: • Classrooms teaching shapes and teamwork • Families exploring big feelings • Early SEL discussions about belonging and calm bodies Because sometimes…you just have to stop and breathe—and then the fun can begin.
