Perrin March is the creator and author of The Seven Hills Meadow, a picture book series inspired by family, belonging, nature, and the places we call home. A Cincinnati native and graduate of Wake Forest University, Perrin spent more than three decades helping families discover exceptional homes and distinctive properties throughout Southwestern Ohio while developing a deep appreciation for storytelling, community, and helping people find where they belong.

Throughout his career, Perrin specialized in representing unique homes and places filled with history and character, from rural retreats and equestrian properties to historic estates and architectural treasures. That appreciation for place, connection, and community helped inspire The Seven Hills Meadow, a timeless woodland world where kindness, friendship, curiosity, and belonging come together.

This unique series of children’s books is home to a delightful collection of woodland characters and also serves as an artistic homage to Perrin’s mother, Maud Rydin March, whose acclaimed tapestry designs inspired the patterns, warmth, and handcrafted feeling woven throughout the illustrated world.

Skip’s Surprise is the first book in the series, with future adventures planned for its beloved meadow friends and the families who will come to treasure them together.
