Emily StohEmily Stoh first became interested in writing as a child. She was shy, and a pen was a good way to express herself without drawing too much attention. Emily especially liked the creativity involved in writing and was encouraged after winning several ocal writing contests. She had taken writing classes in college and tried her hand at other genres, romance, and historical fiction, when it was suggested to her that she create a children's book. The first-time author embraced the idea of writing her own series. Since elephants are her favorite animals, she felt that a little elephant named Roger would be the perfect subject for her debut title in her imaginative new picture book series for children 4-8. The story of Roger learning to paint came naturally as she watched her daughter learn to draw. She is excited to continue the series with other adventures her spider and elephant can get into. Emily recently graduated from Mt. San Jacinto College in San Jacinto, California where she earned an AA in Communications and Humanities; and an AA in Science and Math. Read More Read Less
