Debbi Michiko Florence is a third-generation Japanese American and has fond memories of spending childhood vacations visiting relatives in Japan. A former teacher and zoo educator, Debbi now writes full time. She is the author of two nonfiction children's books, Japan: A Kaleidoscope Kids Book and China: A Kaleidoscope Kids Book (Williamson Books), and also writes children's fiction.
Debbi is a member of SCBWI and has volunteered at numerous conferences. She has called many places home, including Michigan, Mexico, New York, and China, but is happy to be back in her native state of California.
She has always loved to write, but before she started writing full time, Debbi worked in retail clothing, managed a pet store, volunteered as a raptor rehabilitator, received a degree in zoology (with a minor in English), got her teacher's certificate, taught fifth grade, was the Associate Curator of Education for a zoo, and still is a mom and a wife!
She loves traveling, coffee, delicious food, dogs (and is partial to her rat terrier, Trixie), shopping with her teen daughter, and getting lost in a great story!
