Author and Speaker Mickey Carolan did not have to look far for his inspiration. Being raised by two deaf parents motivated Mickey to share his family’s story as a legacy for future generations and as a social-emotional learning message for all children in the deaf community.

​

Mickey lives outside Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his wife, Erin, and their two children, Elloree and Brooks. When he isn't optimizing global supply chains or supporting his wife's salon, he is writing stories of courage and resilience for children. Mickey enjoys spending time with his family, coaching youth sports, reading, and lifting weights.

​

Mickey's current publications include:

Sky, the Deaf Home Run Hero: A Lesson in Courage (Deaf Kids Can #1)

Bonnie and the Deaf Bake Squad: A Lesson in Confidence (Deaf Kids Can #2)
