She loves the great outdoors and camping in the mountains. However, she doesn't get to go as much as she'd -

Kristi R. (Rohdy) Bradbury grew up enjoying road trips across the USA with her family. She shared stories of her adventures with her own children, and, for a decade, she talked about writing them into books. The pandemic of 2020, with the need to stay at home, finally provided her the opportunity! Publishing her first book, To Iowa in the Back Seat, is an accomplishment that fills her with a joy that she hopes will be imparted to readers of all ages. Kristi has worked in Special Education for 20 years. She is the proud mom of five children and grandma of nine. She and her husband, Bill, live in Los Angeles. -

Born and raised in Hungary, Barbara hopscotched her way across Europe—collecting memories, inspiration, and probably a few too many notebooks—before settling in Germany with her family (and her ever-growing tea stash).
By day, she works in HR (helping grown-ups), and by night, she writes books (helping little hearts grow big). She doesn’t drink coffee (though she loves the smell), but give her a cup of warm plum tea and a handful of pistachios, and she’s ready to take on any story.
Whether she’s writing about underwater adventures, superhero parents, or bugs that love to hug -
Amy Doslich
I am so glad to become a writer and illustrator. It has been a very fun process. I live in Southlake, TX with my husband, my 5 year old daughter (Hannah), my 2 year old daughter (Mary), and my 13lb Pomeranian (Snowball). I also work as a retirement actuary, so as you can imagine I have quite a bit going on! However, I hope to add more books soon about my two wonderful daughters that hopefully your children can relate to as well.

David Klochko
David Klochko is a first-time children’s book author and father of one. Inspired by his daughter, David began writing “Fly High Baby Dragon” to help her understand the importance of practice and patience. Growing up, and often into adulthood, David also struggled with the concept of perseverance in the face of difficult tasks. He hopes that both kids and parents can find the same inspiration that he has found in “Fly High Baby Dragon”, so that they too can try something new and fly high.
