77 Maitland Place Born: A while ago. Eskilstuna, Sweden. BiographyBorn in Eskilstuna, Sweden, of Finnish and Polish parents, given an Italian name -- you think I'd be a lot more exotic, wouldn't you? From the time I first read picture books, I wanted to write. I also liked to draw a lot, and play with those little rubber-stamp printing kits children had in the 50's. I worked as a graphic designer and illustrator while I was getting readier and readier to become a full-time children's author and poet. Published WorksCollections of poems:
"I Did It Because...": How A Poem Happens, Annick Press, 2006 Rhyming picture book stories:

AwardsFor each of my books of poetry for kids, the publisher made up fridge magnets. I know this doesn't count but it's as close as I've gotten to something medal-like.
