Michelle has a long history working in bookstores and libraries, where she first fell in love with children's literature. She's written music for kids and adults, and loves a good art project, from textiles to marbling to drawing. Michelle is currently on the lookout for a real nice piece of cardboard.

​

Look for her in Portland, Oregon where she lives with her cute little family and a clowder of cats.
