Linda Levi, a proud Clevelander, was born and raised in the Chagrin Falls area for most of her life. Having an interest in art and a love for children's literature, she draws her inspiration from her family, which once included a fun-loving and sometimes mischievous basset hound. She considers being a parent to her now grown children, Elan and Anais, with her husband Emmanuel, to be one of her greatest joys. Her dedication to children extends to also having taught many students, celebrating each child's unique gifts, throughout her teaching career.
