Author Misty Black enjoys picture books as much as her children do, if not more! Why? Because a good book can take you anywhere in the world! (No need to get out of bed!) Misty has been winning awards for writing since fifth grade. She enjoys reading, playing board games, gardening, and spending time with her husband and 3 children. Misty is secretly a part-time tooth fairy--and so her inspiration for My Mom the Fairy was born. When asked why she writes, she said, "Books should be fun and exciting. Children deserve to love reading, and I want to be a part of that."
