Kieta, Patricia

Patricia was born and raised in Chicago and graduated from DePaul University. She has always found a great deal of satisfaction in writing stories for her family and friends. Reading to her children as they were growing up was a daily event. Once the grandchildren started to arrive, she began to realize the importance of the time spent reading and sharing stories. To her it was the bridge that opened doors to new and exciting adventures. This impassioned her to think about writing children's books. Her focus was to show how the printed work would be fun and yet teach a lesson. Patricia writes
