Along with many other important life skills, author Deanna Scaccia-Pagliuca has been teaching kids to zip up their coats for more than two decades in her career as an educator, helping to foster children's independence, problem-solving abilities, and an interest in the natural environment as they transition from one phase of their lives to the next.
An avid reader since she was a young child, Deanna currently lives with her family in Tottenham, Ontario, surrounded by the beauty of nature, and enjoys travelling with her family whenever they get the chance.
The Crocodile Zipper is Deanna's second book with FriesenPress, following the release of Banana Feet in 2023, which helped kids learn to put the right shoes on the right feet (and the left shoes on the left).
