There’s no better way to say “sweet dreams” than an imaginative and heartfelt bedtime story book. Lollipops and Ice Cream has a warm message of safety and love with beautiful illustrations to complement a lovely lullaby written by Billboard charting American songwriter Laureen Flynn Smith. Debuting on Amazon at #1 New Children Release in Nursery rhymes, #1 New Children Release in Poetry, and #1 New Children Release in Stories in Verse, Laureen's first children's picture book is also part of her "Bear Hug Box" project established with her twin sister Lisa Namm, donating bears, blankets and books to children in traumatic situations.
Following her #1 debut, Laureen returns with Sleepyhead Animal Wishes — a whimsical bedtime adventure that takes little readers splashing with dolphins, nibbling blueberries with pandas, and soaring with eagles. Bursting with vibrant, Pixar-style illustrations, it celebrates friendship, curiosity, and imagination. Featuring children of all abilities and backgrounds, this inclusive story invites every child to see themselves in the magic of dreaming big.

Laureen Flynn Smith
Laureen Flynn Smith is a songwriter whose work lives at the intersection of emotion, craftsmanship, and connection. Known for writing genre-crossing songs that are lyrically visual and deeply human, her music has been recorded by artists across Pop, Americana, Indie, Country, Bluegrass, and Christian genres—with several landing on global Billboard charts.
Her songs have found homes everywhere—from Los Angeles TV to Nashville studios—and include a release by Olivia Newton-John co-written with award-winning Beth Nielsen Chapman. Her very first co-write led to a cut by Grammy-nominated, Platinum, and Dove Award-winning Point of Grace—a moment that launched a career defined by both heart and discipline.
A former Teacher of the Deaf who began her creative life in a silent classroom in Amish country, Laureen learned early that connection isn’t always spoken—it’s felt. That experience shaped her approach to songwriting: intentional, empathetic, and rooted in the belief that music helps people say what they cannot say alone.
Today, Laureen is the founder of The Flynn Smith Collective, a global network of 60+ artists and 40 producers from LA, Nashville, and abroad providing easy-clear songs for TV, film, and brand placements. She works with renowned veteran artists and young artists from The Voice, American Idol, America’s Got Talent, Songland, and more. Her music has been featured on NBC and UPTV, soon to be on NETFLIX, and she was recently nominated for Song of the Year at the Josie Music Awards at the Grand Ole Opry.
Collaborators describe her as someone who “elevates everyone in the room” and “creates a safe, inspired space where real stories become real songs.” Known for her unmatched work ethic, Laureen arrives with hooks, active tv/film brief requests from music supervisors, imagery, emotional arcs, melody ideas, and production references—staying involved through the final mix.
Outside of music, Laureen co-founded Bear Hug Boxes with her twin sister, donating bears, blankets, and books—including her original children’s books, Lollipops and Ice Cream and Sleepyhead Animal Wishes—to children navigating trauma.
At her core, Laureen writes to help people feel seen. Her songs blend nostalgia with modern storytelling, heart with strategy, and vulnerability with strength—making her a compelling voice in both the songwriting and sync worlds.
