Author: Lisa Manzione
The Bella and Harry series of children's books is Lisa Manzione's
first foray into children's fiction writing. As a member of the
Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), Lisa's
entrance into the field of literature is one she has eagerly
awaited and is very passionate about. As the daughter of a single
parent who worked for a major airline, Lisa's exposure to (and
interest in) travel began at an early age. Later in life, as Lisa's
own children grew up and her love of animals continued, the idea
for the Bella and Harry series was born.
Illustrator: Kristine Lucco
Born in rural Pennsylvania, Kristine's passion for art began at a
young age. This interest in art continued and ultimately led
Kristine to study at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.
Now a mother of two avid junior readers, Kristine's unique talent
and particular flair for children's themes has evolved quite
naturally into the world of children's books and illustrations. She
is quick to credit her own children for inspiring this phase of her
art, as it is often conceived by seeing the characters and places
through their eyes.
In addition to her work on the Bella and Harry series, Kristine has
also illustrated the most recently recognized children's book,
"Wacky Jacky, The True Story of an Unlikely Beauty Queen".
