About the author

For Mary, there is nothing more fascinating than listening to the candour and depth of a child's reasoning. This is what inspires her to write. After the success of her book, Kids, Let's Talk About Race from A-Z, this accomplished mum by day and writer by night couldn't keep pen away from paper. She quickly got to work on her eleventh book, Spring Holiday Fun! - a themed activity book and compilation of short stories to keep great young minds engaged and entertained during the holidays. When Mary isn't writing, she's enjoying the roller coaster ride of parenting her two amazing kids.
