Lynda Madaras is the author of eleven books on health, childcare, and parenting, including six from Newmarket Press. Lynda is recognized worldwide by librarians, educators, reviewers, parents, nurses, doctors--and the kids themselves--for her unique non-threatening style, excellent organization, and thorough coverage of the experience of adolescence. For more than twenty years a sex and health education teacher in Pasadena and Santa Monica, California, she has made numerous appearances on Oprah, Today, Good Morning America, CNN, PBS, and is quoted often in newspapers and magazines. She lectures frequently to teachers, librarians, nurses, health professionals, and parents' groups. She lives in California. Area Madaras was just 11 when she assisted her mother with the first "What's Happening to My Body?" book, published in 1983. (In fact, Lynda began to write it with her daughter, when she realized that there was no book available to give to Area at that time of her life.) In the ensuing years, Area has collaborated and continues to consult with her mother on other books in the Series. She has an M.A. in Communications from the Annenberg School at the University of Southern California, and has been working for six years in Internet site and content development. She lives in California.
