Biographie de Callie Raab
I'm an educator, writer, illustrator, and author of over eighty children's stories, including:
. The Adventures of Jix, 35 learning-to-read stories about a plucky little monster in a world of fantastical creatures. This illustrated 4-volume collection introduces all the common letter patterns in English. Available this winter.
. The Poof! Academy, a collection of 40-plus fairy tales, 10 of them about a little school for witches, who are forever up to magical mischief.
This 2-volume middle reader also features the common letter patterns.
. The Improbable Voyage of the Poof! Academy, a novel about the little witches' journey to magical realms they've never dreamed of before. Available soon.
. Picture book, Sir Little Fool and the Skeptical Princess, about a little princess who doesn't believe in fairy tales, only to get caught up in one. You can read her story on my website eagerreaderpress.com.
. Prince Beauregard and the Beast Baby, a fairy tale Maurice Sendak extolled, also available to read on my website.
"Prince Beauregard is a wonder!" he wrote me.
. Somebody Grab That Dog and Tired of Trying, stories kids can make into little books on the Activities Page of my website.
I was born in Minnesota and spent my early childhood in the Twin Cities, where my father had grown up-and where the drama of the seasons left an indelible impression on me. In my early teens, my mother moved my brother and me to Berkeley, California-her hometown-tumultuous years I've written about in Callie's Ragbag, a memoir in blogs that you can also read on my website.
