Childhood: Lori grew up in the same house in Anaheim, California. After entering (and losing) a writing contest in 4th grade, Lori knew she wanted to grow up and make children’s books (she got prepared for rejection at an early age!) Lori planned to be the author, and her best friend, Linda, would be the illustrator. Now Lori’s childhood dreams are becoming a reality.
