Rocco Simari

Rocco Simari is a former Trade School instructor. Fifteen years ago, he became a stay-at-home dad to help raise his four children. Over the years he and his wife Coleen, a language arts teacher at a middle school in New Hampshire, have been building an extensive library of books.

Fascinated with the literature and numerous children's books included in their collection, Rocco has always dreamed of writing his own. About ten years ago, he began writing poems and stories for his children based on his own life experiences. His first children's book, "Little Nick," was published last December, and his second, "Cornelius & Gus," was published this past August with many more to follow.

Rocco is a dedicated husband and father of four teenagers. He continues to write picture books as well as chapter books for young adults. He also writes technical books based on his trade experiences.

Rocco enjoys visiting schools, reading and discussing his books with children of all ages. For more information about Rocco's books please visit www.RoccoSimari.com .
