Tonya Abari is a multigenre storyteller. Her words and reviews have appeared in USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Good Housekeeping, AARP, Parents, ZORA, PBS Kids, and many more!

Tonya writes for both children and adults — and has books published and forthcoming with Mudpuppy, The Innovation Press, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
