Terry Simon was born and raised in Glen Allen, Virginia. Growing up, she spent time at school with children who had special needs. After getting married and moving to California, she worked at a therapy office for children. Terry has always loved reading and writing; she started writing her own stories and poems at a young age. She hopes that by writing these books, children can be taught that it's okay to be different and that showing kindness can be easy. She currently resides in Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and Great Dane. She looks forward to writing more Ribbon Series books and spreading awareness every day.
