Laura Pells has been sharing her love of literacy in the classroom for over 16 years, in addition to writing and creating curriculums for book authors. A story-teller since she could first read, Laura is well-versed in showing young students various ways to express themselves through creativity and the written word. Likewise, and as illustrated through her first children's picture book, she has a playful perspective in helping children face their fears and to help them foster resiliency and grit. Laura lives in Centennial, Colorado with her husband and two children.
