Romina Garber, a bestselling author of eight books, began writing at a young age. As a nine-year-old ESOL student, she was inspired by her teacher reading Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends. This sparked her to write her first poem in Spanish, which earned a first-place ribbon at a county fair.
Born in Buenos Aires, Garber immigrated as a child and attended public schools. She found her professional voice writing a column at a newspaper, alongside Dave Barry. Further details about Garber's life and work are available, including her recent appearance on a podcast discussing her collected works, Wolves of No World: Lobizona and Cazadora.
