As a teacher of children with special needs and a survivor of childhood abuse herself, D E-Collen knows the importance of protecting children from abuse and teaching children about their own human rights, including the right to protect themselves. With this book, There's a Monster in My House: A Book About Children's Human Rights, she hopes to educate children and adults alike on how to address and deal with any sort of threat to a child's well-being―knowledge that she dearly hopes will make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children in order to protect them from potential abuse.
D E-Collen currently lives in Oakville, Canada, with her husband and their dog, Oliver. She has two adult children.
