About the Author
I was born and raised in Kalispell, Montana at the base of the Rocky Mountains and steps from Glacier National Park. Though I love my breathtaking home and try to be in nature when I can, the big city always called to me. After college, I made my way to the east coast and settled in New York City. I spent eight years working in children's publishing at Scholastic. It was here that I cultivated my own writing for children and published my first picture book, The Littlest Pilgrim. Much to my delight, The Littlest Pilgrim landed on the New York Times bestseller list in 2008. I left New York and Scholastic in 2009 to move to San Francisco where I started to pursue writing and freelance editing full time. Along with three middle grade novels and a Pixar picture book, I've written six other Littlest tales (with more to come!) and four books in Giada de Laurentiis's Recipe for Adventure series. I now call sunny Los Angeles my home where I wrangle two adorable kids and one crazy dog with my husband, Joe. Please visit me at www.brandidougherty.comThanks for stopping by!
