edit data

Emma Lesko grew up near Detroit, Michigan, where she ate dirt, taught her guinea pig to turn the basement lights on with his teeth, and read books in a garbage can. Like all kids, Emma had some superpowers. She had supersonic ears, super-strong taste buds and a super-smelling nose. Sometimes her superpowers were spectacular, and sometimes they gave her a feeling of barf. Though Emma has written a gazillion kids’ stories, Super Lexi is the first one she ever showed anybody.

Overnight camping trips, field trips, school performances, carnivals, class parties, you name it, they overwhelmed me. I did not like them. But in the 80s, kids' perspectives were not validated as well as they are today, so I frequently faced grown-ups who told me all kids liked that stuff. No one really believed me.

I decided to write SUPER LEXI about a second-grade girl who hates musical performances & staring eyeballs because I think kids need to be told there's more than one way to experience the world. There is power in the written word. I thought if a grown-up wrote a book that says it's OK to see the world this way, then it would be official for whatever kid needs to hear that. (less)

I do have a few more ideas for SUPER LEXI books and hope to complete them, but there are no official releases scheduled after the Christmas book comes out in November. When I do have release dates on future books, I'll announce them on my Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/EmmaLeskoAuthor

Thank you for your question! (less)

“I don’t like banging on noisy instruments, I don’t like songs that get stuck in my head,and I don’t like eyeballs staring at me. That’s how come I don’t like music class. The other kids at school like music a lot. That’s no biggie, though. Everybody’s different from everybody, and I’m different about music.”

“My daddy carried me out to the car like a baby,which I am not. I didn’t mind, though. His shoulder can be the correct place for my face sometimes.”
