Nana Ferrell was born and raised in New Mexico. She developed a love for books early on, learning to read Chicken Little at 3 years old. She has been writing stories and poetry since she was in elementary school. When her children were small, she wrote a series of stories about some furry little creatures called Mithras. Each story focused on a lesson she wanted her children to learn. They loved her stories and were always begging for more! She found she loved sharing her work with family and friends. With their encouragement, she decided to branch out and share the Hoppity Floppity stories with the world. She teamed up with artist, Jane Bryson, to develop this delightful first book. Her hope is that children everywhere will grow to love the Hoppity Floppity Gang and their adventures as much as she does! Nana Ferrell lives in Utah with her amazing husband, PopPop Ron, their two shitzus, Molly and Lola, and their cat, Miss Stache.
