Full bio
with the story.

Timmy Bauer began writing and illustrating Billy the Dragon at eighteen to make his four-year-old brother laugh. That bedtime experiment became the start of a career built around a simple belief: an educational story earns the right to teach only after it earns a child’s attention.

After ten years with the Walt Disney Company as an actor and puppeteer, Timmy took his stories into schools across the United States. Today, he is the founder of Dinosaur House, a children’s-book production company; creator of the DinoPreneurs entrepreneurship curriculum; and host of podcast series about purpose-driven business, literacy, writing, and the work of creating for children. His conversations and talks connect storytelling, education, entrepreneurship, creativity, generosity, and legacy.

Suitable for speaker pages, conference programs, articles, and extended podcast introductions.
