About Clare Short

Clare Short is a speech-language pathologist living in Atlanta, GA with her husband and three young children. She studied English and Human Development as an undergraduate at Boston College, then completed her Masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology at University of Virginia. When not working in pediatric acute care as an SLP or raising her children, she can be found searching for the best cookie in the city, savoring the perfect cup of tea, or traveling to the North Georgia mountains for a hike with her family and friends.

 

Clare's debut children's book is Bo the Boat! The lift-the-flap board book was created after countless hours of reading bedtime stories to her own children and over a decade as a speech-language pathologist. Clare is passionate about communication and empowering families to unlock new skills in their child's speech toolbox. Her hope is that this book will be fun and engaging for babies, toddlers, and perhaps even older children who would like to cozy up with Bo and Mo.  Bo's world is inspired by several of Clare's family's "happy places" including Ocracoke Island, NC and Glen Arbor, MI. We hope that you enjoy going on this heartwarming journey as much as we have!
