Andrea Beaty
Recognized in the Creative Minds Montessori 2026 Teacher’s Choice list.
Andrea Beaty is one of roughly one hundred authors whose work was selected by the Montessori-certified teachers at Creative Minds Montessori for the 2026 Teacher’s Choice list — 120 books chosen across four reading stages, from first lap-reads to first chapter books. The selected book was chosen for how precisely it meets children at a real developmental moment. This recognition cannot be bought: no author or publisher paid to appear on our lists, and we take no commission on any book sale.
About Andrea Beaty
Andrea Beaty studied biology and computer science before becoming the poet laureate of kid engineering — her Questioneers series (Rosie, Iggy, Ada) has sold millions and put 'failure is data' on classroom walls everywhere.
Beaty worked in tech support and watched adults fear mistakes daily; Rosie Revere was her answer, written in bouncing verse because, she has said, courage goes down easier with rhythm.
