Tracy Sides

Tracy Sides is an award-winning author, public speaker, and public health professional. She is also an adventurer who loves dogs. However, not even bicycling across the US or bungee jumping in New Zealand could prepare her for the amazing adventure of raising a puppy named Riker, who became her beloved companion and friend. Sides grew up near Chicago, Illinois, and lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota. She writes children's books as a tribute to Riker and all the animals who bring joy into our lives.
