Emily Rose WhitakerEmily Rose Whitaker grew up in a small town in Vermont where snow days meant hot cocoa and reading stacks of fairy tales under a big quilt. She always knew she wanted to write stories that kids would beg to hear "just one more time" before bed. Her lve for adventure and a pinch of mischief shows up in every tale she spins.Before writing full-time, Emily worked as a kindergarten teacher for almost a decade. Those years gave her more than enough funny moments and wild kid questions to fill a hundred books. She believes there's magic in the everyday stuff - muddy boots, backyard forts, and secret handshakes between best friends.When she's not writing, Emily can be found gardening with her two daughters, baking cookies that rarely make it to the jar, or camping in the woods with her husband. She swears she's never outgrown bedtime stories herself - they're her favorite way to dream up the next adventure. Read More Read Less
