Who Is Adrienne Barr?

Adrienne Barr is the author of the International Best Seller and Teacher's Pick children's book, "Dancing with Butterflies: Discovering Mindfulness Through Breathing". The book was released on September 19, 2020, as a tribute to her Aunt Anne who was a surrogate grandmother and a lifelong educator.

 During her author journey which began in March 2020, she rediscovered how writing fulfilled her, and the creation process became a new friend.  From creating content, to writing additional books, and mentoring other authors, she wants to be able to share her wealth of knowledge. As a result of this newfound passion, she created Ellena N. Gean Books to continue to publish her stories. The name of her business was created as an homage to her parents and a play on their middle names with her middle initial connecting them.​
