About Roxanne

Roxanne Troup writes children's stories that celebrate wonder, belonging, and the magic of everyday moments. ​With a background in education, she loves visiting schools to support students and teachers in the classroom. Roxanne lives in the mountains of Colorado where she can explore the quiet magic of the natural world (and avoid all the bugs in her home-state of Missouri).

What educators say

“We loved having Roxanne visit our school! What a great way to get students excited about writing! Her presentation was creative and engaging. She had kids up and moving, and best of all - WRITING! As a former teacher, everything she did correlated to the classroom (and our teachers loved the resources she left behind for them). We can't wait to have Roxanne back and highly recommend her author visits!”

— Jordan Fargo, STEM Teacher/Librarian, Academy Endeavor Elementary, CO

“What a great experience! Roxanne kept my third-grade students engaged, even on a virtual platform, I loved the way she described her writing process (and the kids loved seeing her journal!); it was good for them to see that writing is not a quick process, but it takes time and dedication.”

— 3rd Grade EIP Reading/Math Teacher, Washington-Wilkes Primary School, GA

“Roxanne did a great job engaging my students and reinforcing their learning. They had fun relaying information through real-life examples and got to put what they learned immediately into their writing. We will be practicing "writing with our senses" throughout the rest of the year in as many exciting ways as we can!”

— Emylee Van Denend, First Grade Teacher, High Plains Elementary School, CO
