Donna Lambo-Weidner

Donna Lambo-Weidner has sailed the seven seas with swashbuckling pirates, crossed blades with sword-wielding knights, and circumnavigated the moon in a cardboard box, all before the age of eight.

Now that she’s earned a Bachelor of Arts, lived on two continents, and raised four kids, Donna writes books for children based on her childhood adventures laced with her actual life experiences—such as dogsledding in the arctic and spending the night in a salt cave 1,000 feet below the Earth’s surface.

She presently lives above a vineyard-strewn valley with her globe-trotting husband, a rambunctious retriever, and a treasure chest rumored to have belonged to Captain Kidd stuffed with scrolls listing lands and experiences yet to be explored.

THERE ARE NO DRAGONS IN THIS BOOK is Donna's debut picture book, published by NorthSouth Books on March 5, 2024
