Andrea Q. Cluff

Andrea Cluff grew up in the rural woods of Southern Maine. With so much natural beauty surrounding her, it's little wonder that she developed a keen love for nature and spending time outdoors. She also learned, from a young age, to love books and stories. Every morning of her childhood began with the whole family gathered together as her mother read aloud. And every family gathering was a chance to swap verbal stories back and forth between relatives. Consequently, it was quite natural for her to continue studying the art of language at college where she majored in English and Minored in German. Joshua Little and the Leaves is her first children's book. Although Andrea enjoys many genres, children's books will always be one of her favorites. She is quite sure she will never outgrow them.
