Author Information

Lynn Greenberg has focused her life on being a champion for children. As a trained Attorney, Lynn spent her time in the legal world practicing family law, providing pro bono work for kids, and advocating on their behalf. When her youngest son Jonathan was diagnosed with Dyslexia, becoming his advocate came easy. Understanding how to gather facts and create strategic plans, Lynn developed a road map to success for her son and has since become an active supporter of all neurodivergent children.Writing a children's book with Jon was simply the natural progression for Lynn. Together, they launched the Creative Cab Company(R) series, beginning with ""Robby the Dyslexic Taxi and the Airport Adventure,"" which was born out of their shared desire for neurodivergent children to see themselves in a storyline. Their second book in the series, ""Suzy the ADHD Taxi and the Sightseeing Adventure,"" continues that mission by celebrating another form of neurodiversity through an uplifting tale. Lynn and Jon plan to expand the Creative Cab Company by offering more relatable stories for all children, reminding families that every difference is a strength. Jonathan Greenberg was diagnosed with dyslexia as a young child. While he always knew he learned differently, he never let it define him. Like most kids, Jonathan had a bookshelf full of books-but since reading them was a challenge, he became captivated by their artwork and illustrations. That early fascination with visual storytelling grew into a lifelong passion for art.Through determination and support, Jonathan remediated his dyslexia, yet his love of illustration remained at the core of his creativity. Today, he is a graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Partnering with his mother, Lynn-an advocate for neurodiverse children-he co-founded the Creative Cab Company(R) series, blending his artistic talents with his lived experience. Their debut book, ""Robby the Dyslexic Taxi and the Airport Adventure,"" was born out of their shared desire for neurodivergent children to see themselves in stories. The follow-up, ""Suzy the ADHD Taxi and the Sightseeing Adventure,"" continues that mission by celebrating another form of neurodiversity through an uplifting tale.Jonathan looks forward to expanding the Creative Cab Company(R) with more relatable stories for all children while also pursuing his broader artistic endeavors across other mediums-always guided by the belief that every difference is a strength.
