Sarah Mead grew up reading anything she could get her hands on and her stories won her the future author award in elementary school. As a fourth-grade teacher, she earned a master’s degree in writing curriculum but decided that writing children’s books was much more fun! She regularly publishes magazine articles and leads a group of children’s authors and illustrators in Rochester, NY. When she isn’t writing or reading, you can find her belting showtunes in the carpool or playing board games with her husband and three kids. She has a mini-goldendoodle who likes to sleep on her feet while she writes.
