Casanova

As a mom and teacher, Alyssa Casanova has always enjoyed a good kid's book. Now she has launched her own brand, Raffi Publishing, and is creating fun stories that kids and parents will love. Originally from New Jersey, she currently lives in Virginia with her husband, two girls and a grumpy old dog. She also works full time as a Special Education teacher and runs on coffee and chocolate. When she's not running around with the kids or writing, she likes to relax by doing handstands (what can she say, it helps the creative juices flow).
