Gioula Chelten was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. In 2002, she decided to travel the world, with every intention of returning to corporate South Africa once she was "traveled out." However, she fell in love with the natural beauty of the USA and its "good natured people", and she decided to immigrate to the USA. Gioula now lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband Skip, and 5 children. Gioula is a full time mother, entrepreneur and author. In an interview about her writing, she said: "I write for my children. When there are messages that need to be repeated, I tend to put it in a book." When her 2nd son was afraid of the dark, she wrote "The Night Visitors". In response to her first son's invincibility streak, she wrote: "The Brave Silly Rabbit". "Little Bear Takes a Winter Nap," was written to express her eternal love, devotion and protection for her children. "I feel grateful and honored that parents are sharing my books with their children. I hope it serves them as it continues to serve us." says Gioula. See less
