ABOUT LAUREN

LAUREN V. MACARAEG is a children’s book author, writer, cat lover, music lover, and foodie. Lauren was voted as “Most Favorite Lampara Writer” at the Aklat Awards 2016. Lauren graduated from Ateneo de Manila University.

Lauren is the author of the award-winning children’s book SINEMADYIKA, the exciting kid’s book THE AMAZING FAMILY CIRCUS, the Bible story book ESTHER AND THE EXTRAORDINARY DELIVERER, and the lively picture book on ADHD, KIKO KITIKITI.

Lauren is also known as LaurenMacDoodles because she loves to doodle words and drawings.

In her free time, Lauren enjoys playing with Cutie the Cat and the Cutiengs Cats, food tripping, creating doodle art, visiting gadget stores, taking random pictures, making kitchen experiments with Mama Uni, watching movies and Asianovelas, cheering on her favorite basketball teams, bonding with her family and friends, singing, dancing and Zumba-ing like no one’s watching (even if she sucks at dancing!), and reading all kinds of books under the sun (and moon).

Lauren wants to give God a high five for letting her discover the wonderful world of books. She loves how books allow her to experience different kinds of adventures in different times and places and dimensions.

Connect with Lauren to join her adventures about books, family, food, cats, music and so much more!

DID YOU KNOW?

Lauren made books by sewing and stapling paper together when she was a kid. She still makes books now that she’s grown up. She uses her computer to write now. But she still loves paper, pencils and colored markers.
