A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Of the many jobs I've held in the past, teaching was one of the most enjoyable for me because investing in kids is so important. To this end, I continue to encourage good character with clean, moral stories kids and teens love to read. Good books make such an impact! Writing is hard work, but there's nothing like a good story to run off with your imagination. When things are flowing, it's like a vacation! Sometimes the best ideas come in the middle of the night.When not writing, you'll find me painting with watercolor, doing school visits, writing a blog, interviewing other writers, designing websites, working as an administrative assistant part-time, and renovating houses. Is this retirement? Apparently so! I'm loving every minute of it with my husband of 42 years.

I was born and raised with one brother and two sisters in Trento, Italy. I always loved books, excelled in art, and wanted to be an illustrator someday. My parents did not want me to become an artist, but a nurse, so that's what I did for a while.Eventually, I moved to London for a year to learn English, and then went to California. There I worked as an au pair before becoming a student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco where I graduated with a BFA in art. My professional art career started from there.I have enjoyed illustrating children's books for sixteen years now and I also teach art part-time in a primary school. I currently make my home with my husband and two dogs in New Zealand. We have lived here for fifteen years and love it.
