My Story

Connie Amarel was born and raised in Ohio and now lives in California with her family and pets. She has worked as an editor, proofreader, and transcriptionist, as well as a typist for other authors. Gifted in poetry, her work has been published by many organizations. Connie's love of poetry began at an early age and she believes that rhyme is a valuable educational tool for children. She also believes that imagination holds the key to the future and that this needs to be cultivated at a young age as well. All of Connie's books deal with different issues that children face and each book teaches a valuable lesson. The Gary Grasshopper series of books are all written using alliteration. Connie's book, "I Wonder Why: A Poem For Children" has been listed in a teacher's resource guide written by Adrienne Gear titled, "Nonfiction Reading Power: Teaching Students How to Think While They Read All Kinds of Information." https://www.amazon.com/author/connieamarel
