MELINA MACALL'S love of reading started when she was very young. Most nights she slept with a book under her pillow. Noddy taught her that everyday life offers adventures all the time. Gerald Durrell introduced her to the amazing world of animals, and a passion to respect and protect them. Instead of becoming a vet, her careers have spanned theater, writing, education, advocacy and travel. Melina loves playing with words. She especially enjoys writing in verse. Her poems span both silly and serious subjects . Inspired by her volunteering experiences at Bluemont Sanctuary she is thrilled to share this incredible place in her debut children's picture book. Melina lives in New Jersey where her family has raised many Seeing Eye dogs including Imari (aka Murray) who is now a permanent family member. Visit her at www.melinamacall.com See less
