Christine Tricarico

Christine Tricarico lives in Michigan, in an itty-bitty love-filled home with her daughter Fallon, their puppy, kitty & pet bunny. Even though Christine has never lived on a farm her home is like a petit petting-zoo & thus inspires her many animated animal stories! Christine's debut picture book: Cock-A-Doodle DANCE! Feiwel & Friends (illustrations by Richard Deas) will hit shelves in 2012. She is also the author of more than 80 poems & articles in magazines such as, Highlights for Children, Babybug, Ladybug, Hopscotch,GP4K, Fun For Kidz, Boys Quest & SCBWI Bulletin. Her Children’s poetry anthology, Itty-Bits of Bliss was published in 2/06 (Tangerine Sky Press) and helped raised money for a children’s charity through book events and self-promotion. She is building her website @: http://christinetricarico.com/
When Christine is not busy creating quirky children's stories or reading to children @ their schools, she can be found helping the elderly community at her 'day job' as a gerontology assistant. For fun she likes to shoot hoops with her daughter, dance with her dog, chase her crazy kitties & bunny-hop through her garden!
