Robin Yardi

Robin Yardi lives in the California foothills, where–every once in a while, in the dark of night–a skunk or two will sneak by and an owl will hoot. She loves good stories, animals of all sorts, homemade cakes, and kids.

Robin Yardi is the author of Coral Keepers, an illustrated undersea adventure series about a trio of mermaid magicians (Scholastic), and I Know the Whale, a poignant picture book about the beauty in all things (Little Bee). As a credentialed teacher and museum docent turned author and presenter, Robin knows joyful learning begins with curiosity. Her books celebrate the bravery of kids doing the hard work of growing up, mastering their magic, and learning to read!
