Welcome to the official home of Sarah Brooke Lustgarten, author of children’s books, fiction, and poetry.
About Sarah
Sarah Brooke Lustgarten grew up between Philadelphia and Miami, carrying the rhythm of both cities into her writing. She traded poems with her grandmother, filled notebooks with ideas, and followed that early spark into advanced studies in creative writing at the University of Miami and Harvard University. Today, her work spans children’s literature, poetry, and fiction, all connected by a deep interest in how stories bring people closer to one another.

Arriving Spring 2026
There’s only one thing that Billie loves as much as baseball: sightseeing. Every time she and her trusty companion, Bunt the Dog, visit a new city, they set out to learn all about the location and its history before cheering on the home team.
Baseball Billie and Bunt, along with their friend, Benjamin, explore the historic city of Philadelphia. There, they visit the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and other historical sites to learn everything they can before watching the Philadelphia Phillies play at Citizens Bank Park.
Come along and cheer for the Phillies with Billie, Bunt, and Benjamin in The City of Brotherly Love.
