Nancy Bo Bo Flood

Nancy Bo Flood (nancyboflood.com) earned her PhD in Experimental Psychology and Child Development at the University of Minnesota and has authored a variety of award-winning books, including a handbook for counseling children and I Will Dance, a story based on a real girl named Eva who was born with cerebral palsy.  Nancy has lived on the Pacific island of Saipan, where she worked with teachers and parents to create resources and programs for students with disabilities, and for the past twenty years she has taught on the Navajo Nation and co-founded an early-literacy nonprofit Read at Home, which encourages parents to read regularly with their children. Her books have been recognized with a variety of national and international honors, but always Nancy states, “The best reward is when a child glances at me while reading one of my books and proudly says, ‘I am in this book.’”
