Meet the Team!

Rebecca J. Gomez loves reading stories as much as she loves writing them. She prefers to read aloud to a live human audience, but her dogs will do in a pinch. She's got five published picture books and one middle grade novel in verse. When Rebecca's not reading or writing, she likes to bake, create artsy stuff, watch movies, play video games, garden, do puzzles, hike in the woods, and cook hearty meals for her family. She lives in Nebraska.
