Bio: Dana Marie Miroballi is a former teacher and current speech-language pathologist for Chicago Public Schools. She grew up in Germany, served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Uzbekistan, and now lives in Chicago with her family. Working in schools and parenting inspired her to create books that celebrate cultural diversity and educate children about inspiring people, historical events, and the world around them. Dana is the author of If My Hair Had a Voice from Beaming Books illustrated by Patricia Grannum and Inventions to Count On: A Celebration of Black Inventors from Abrams Appleseed illustrated by Sawyer Cloud.
