As a writer and librarian, Cristina believes in the magic of reading, collecting, and sharing stories. She spends her days in the stacks of the library and her nights writing books for children. She lives at the Jersey Shore with her husband, daughter, and two dogs, and loves drinking coffee, finding seashells, and reading. She is the author of Bedtime for Cranky Crab (Cartwheel/Scholastic) and Central Park (Familius).
seashells, daisies, bananas, coffee, salty olives, walking dogs, tap dancing, oranges, the color pink, the smell of library books

my golden-mix rescue dogs, Iris & Firuze, who are super-sweet and always hungry
sandy beaches, quiet libraries, crowded subway trains, cozy book nooks
