Her Why
C.M. Harris didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming an author—she became one out of necessity. Living with a disability, she experienced what it felt like to be overlooked and underestimated. Instead of letting that define her, she turned her challenges into purpose.
She wrote her first book, What If We Were All The Same!, to create the kind of story she wished she had as a child—one that celebrates differences and shows that every child is worthy of love, kindness, and belonging. Her mission is to write books that make a difference, stories that help children feel seen, valued, and proud of who they are.
Through her work, C.M. Harris is not just telling stories—she’s creating a movement rooted in empathy, inclusion, and hope.
