About the author

I was a children's book editor at Scholastic for seven-and-a-half years before I moved to Seattle to work at Cranium Inc. Now I'm striking out on my own as a freelance editor and writer. I have worked in many bookstores, including Wild Rumpus in Minneapolis. Children's books are my passion!
