M. Perotti is a former elementary school teacher, a dedicated single parent, and a storyteller at heart. After years in the classroom, and a few lost in the corporate world, she left it all behind to write books that reflect the beautifully diverse families of today. With a passion for helping children navigate their emotions, her stories weave magic, adventure, and heartfelt lessons—encouraging young readers to embrace their feelings and find their own voices. When she's not writing, you’ll find her exploring nature with her child, dreaming up new tales, and drinking far too much coffee.
