Alyssa Casanova writes kid lit focused on fun and family. She strives for stories that preserve the innocence of childhood by finding the fun and humor in everyday life. As a parent and teacher, she's always enjoyed a good book where the lessons aren't found on the first page, because no kid wants a lesson at bedtime. Alyssa lives in Virginia with her husband, two daughters, and a grumpy old dog. Like any good writer, she enjoys a warm cup of coffee, hiking with her family, doing random handstands, and of course, a good bedtime story.
