"Love this book. Read it to my little girl the whole week before she started Pre-k. She loved it! I think it prepared her well." - customer review My (2 year old) daughter announced " Sophie's sad!" in the beginning, and "Sophie not sad anymore! " at the end.

Her youngest daughter, Sophie, had serious jitters before starting preschool. Kathy drew on these experiences to write "Sophie's New School", her first children's book. Kathy currently lives in Long Valley, New Jersey with her husband and two daughters. When she's not working on her next book or driving someone to dance class, she enjoys playing tennis and hanging out with her two fabulous princesses.
