Grimbeek, Belinda: - Born and raised in South Africa, Belinda earned her Bachelor of Arts degree and then married the love of her life. Together they sailed to the United States in 1999 which unexpectedly became a permanent migration, followed by building a business and welcoming three amazing children. More recently Belinda and her family have replanted in North Carolina, where their new business venture is almost as interesting as the stories surfacing in the fresh mountain air. Writing and illustrating Picture Books has been a growing passion of Belinda's since 2006 and she hopes that her stories will engage children with heart and humor. Poetry, photography and other creative outlets allows Belinda to explore both Mainstream and Christian book markets.
