Author Biography
Through Erika's experiences as an immigrant growing up in New York and later as an elementary school teacher in New York and Los Angeles, she realized there was a need for books that inspired kids to dream and reach for the moon, no matter what their challenges were. To answer that need, she created a series of biographies for the younger reader. The books are often chosen to be read in the classroom and discussed with peers.
