Mary Casanova

    Mary Casanova crea storie che contano e che i giovani lettori non riescono a mettere giù. Le sue narrazioni, spesso tratte dalle sue esperienze di vita al confine tra Minnesota e Canada o dalle sue approfondite ricerche all'estero, approfondiscono temi che risuonano profondamente con i bambini. Lei considera la ricompensa più grande come la dichiarazione di un bambino che ama i suoi libri, vedendo la scrittura come una forma vitale di comunicazione dall'autore al lettore. Casanova descrive le parole come il suo pennello, il suo strumento per esplorare il mondo, e si diletta nel condividere la sua passione per la scrittura e la lettura con un pubblico di tutte le età.
