Heidi Bosch Romano

Heidi Bosch Romano is an author/illustrator of children's picture books. Over the years, between her upbringing and on-the-job training, she's become well-suited for her chosen field producing high-quality, family-oriented books for children.

Growing up with parents who were very talented artists - her mother, a fine artist, and her dad, a technical illustrator - she learned to draw and paint at a very young age. With an eye for art, she also enjoys painting portraits, photographing nature, and creating artistic websites.

She learned about storytelling working in the production department at Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. At Tratec/McGraw-Hill, she worked her way from a word processing typist to their print production coordinator. Her job involved taking rough manuscripts through the necessary steps in order to produce camera-ready art for professional four-color printing.

Heidi's husband Steve R. Romano is an author of science-fiction books. After their grandkids spent the summer with them many years ago, Steve and Heidi were inspired to write children's books to help promote family reading time.
