Denise Vega wrote and illustrated her first book, The Laziness of Peter Rabbit, when she was around twelve years old. Teachers were a huge influence on Denise and encouraged her pursuit of writing. Today she pulls inspiration from everywhere, from her nieces and nephews to the mountains and streams that grace the view from her home.
