The Brightest Star U.S. Military Edition

When Mary was a little girl, she would gather up all of her stuffed animals and baby dolls to read stories to them. It wasn't until years later that she would leave the corporate world of magazine publishing to find herself holding a book and reading stories to real little boys and girls. It's said that whatever you loved to play as a child would be your dream job as an adult. Maybe this is why being a preschool teacher isn't only Mary's job, it's her joy. Combining her professional careers as an artist, Master Preschool Instructor, and Certified Life Coach, Mary is excited to bring her experience to children's literature. Whether it be empowering her readers, shedding light on a different perspective, or creating a new tradition, Mary's intentions are clear... find an open place in your heart, plant a seed and watch it grow. Born and raised in West Los Angeles, Mary currently resides in a suburb of the city, where she can now sit back and watch her own three stars shine brightly.
