EJ Clark-Sledge, is a whimsical wordsmith, and member of The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. She brings joy and adventure to life from the heartland of Omaha, Nebraska. She shares her home with her husband and their two Mini Australian Shepherds, Frankie and Sailor.
Born in Topeka, Kansas, EJ's journey has taken her to various places. From Papillion, NE, to Eielson AFB in Alaska at Taylor junior high, and Maconaquah high school at Grissom AFB in Indiana. Her academic path led her to Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, and she topped it off by earning her Master's at Bellevue University, right in Bellevue, Nebraska.
Growing up as a military kid, EJ had the privilege of traversing numerous far-flung places, and her books are a testament to her globetrotting adventures. Inspired by her travels, she's transformed her experiences into magical tales for children, taking them on unforgettable journeys around the world.
But there's more to her stories than meets the eye. EJ is passionate about adding a dash of education and fun to her books. Each adventure is not just a story but a learning experience. She brings the magic of storytelling and the wonders of exploration together to create a whimsical, funny, and educational experience for children of all ages.
By incorporating elements of geography into her narratives, she not only entertains but also educates. The inclusion of a Search and Find page adds an interactive dimension to the learning experience, engaging children in a playful exploration of the story's setting. This not only enhances their memorization skills but also cultivates attention to detail—an invaluable skill in both learning and everyday life.
