Cynthia Restivo, a professional storyteller, enjoys listening to stories as much as telling them. She teaches storytelling to the next generation at Aspire Public Schools and as a freelance artist in Northern California. She lives with her family in the Sierra Foothills near Yosemite. When trying out new stories, her husband and three children have always been her first audience. Cynthia co-produced two award winning CDs of stories and songs, Storyquilters and Blackberry Love. This is Cynthia's first book. Visit her website at: www.cynthiarestivo.com
