Mary J.E. Nitti

Mary J.E. Nitti is a children’s book author whose stories combine imagination,

humor, and heart. Her writing journey began at a young age writing stories and

poems, and later wrote plays for the neighborhood kids to put on for their parents.

Spending several summers as a day camp counselor for varying age groups and

having many nieces and nephews, inspired her to focus on writing for children.

Her first published book “Ooo” was named as one of “seven board books that teach

new concepts to toddlers“ by The Childrens Book Review. “Willy and Hector Beyond

the Junkyard” is her second book about a little truck with big dreams. Coming in 2026

is “Adalee,” a story about an adventurous little girl and her dog.
