I grew up in Indiana, Pennsylvania and went to college at Penn State University, where I majored in psychology. I went to library school at the University of Pittsburgh and went to work at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. I’ve worked there for fifteen years!

Pittsburgh is the home of many talented and productive children’s writers and illustrators. Learn more about us here, www.wpascbwi.com.
