Teresa Rodrigues is a histologist-turned-kidlit writer. She grew up on Merritt Island, FL, where she spent much of her time reading and pouring her emotions into poems. Now, she spends her days in sunny South Florida, pouring her emotions into books. When she isn’t writing, you can find her sending numerous social media posts to her daughters (much to their dismay), and enjoying life as an empty-nester with her husband. She’s an active member of SCBWI, and works to promote children’s literacy through BAM Festival Inc., a nonprofit in South Florida.
