Kroft, Claire: - Claire has always had a love for creative writing-she began journaling at the age of 9, and carried that love of writing through her degrees in English, Education, and Literature from UCLA, UC Santa Cruz, and Northern Arizona University. Before diving into the world of startups and venture capital as an executive assistant, she spent seven years teaching English to high school and college students, sharing her passion for storytelling. Claire also published one of her graduate papers in The Magazine of the National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE).When she's not wrangling schedules or crafting stories, Claire enjoys discovering new adventures, whether through books or real-life explorations. This is her first children's book, and she hopes it sparks curiosity and joy in young readers!
