I’ve always loved drawing and painting, and everything related to illustration: paint, brushes, pencils, color pencils, blank notebooks, art supply stores, libraries, bookstores, picture books, you get the idea.

My love of illustration and of books led me to another career: I’m a librarian at The Free Library of Philadelphia.  A perfect fit for my interests!
 
I love dogs too.  Growing up, my first dog was a little mutt named Snoopy.  

I’m originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

My husband and I have a silly little terrier mix named Giovanni.

I’m a February 2012 featured author at Girl Scouts Studio!
