Elizabeth KonecniElizabeth Konecni loves teaching, learning, and creating. She began her teaching career at age seven in her family's two-car garage in New Orleans, where her work was setting up the perfect classroom. Elizabeth and her dad spent every Saturdaymorning going to garage sales, searching for classroom materials, especially children's books. No surprise, Elizabeth grew up to be a classroom teacher, administrator, curriculum specialist, and instructional coach. Her work brings her into many schools across the New Orleans area, coaching teachers and principals. Through her years in education, she has seen the significant impact reading has on a child, and she believes books give readers an escape, a vacation, life lessons, and endless happiness. She strongly believes that a powerful book message can change the world. In her first book, The Colorful World of Becky Fos, she hopes readers will connect with the message that they can dream big and do anything, just like Becky did! Read More Read Less
