Sharon Reiss Baker

Sharon Reiss Baker collected ideas for future story settings in the many places she lived, including Puerto Rico, Maryland, Massachusetts, France, Florida, Israel, and Connecticut. Some of those ideas turned into actual books, including All Kins of Strong (a PJ Library selection), A Nickel, A Trolley, A Treasure House (a Sydney Taylor Notable book), and Last Days in Moav, her debut novel. She also worked as an elementary school teacher and a high school administrator. Sharon and her husband now live outside Philadelphia.
