"Dede Rittman taught tenth grade English and theater for thirtyseven years in the North Allegheny School District near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She loved being involved with school extracurricular activities and coached varsity golf, directed musicals, and organized talent shows for her students for many years.

Dede has worn glasses for most of her life, without which, she would have become blind at a very young age. Her first pair of glasses quite literally changed the way she was able to see the world. Dede combines her love of bunnies with her appreciation for glasses in her literary debut, Grady Gets Glasses, launching the highly anticipated Grady series.

Dedes first book for student teachers is available at: www.dederittman.com.
