Meet Amy Falk Weinberger - Co-Author
Amy Falk Weinberger, MSEd., a former educator and entrepreneur for 50+ years, is a passionate advocate for creative thinking, playfulness in learning, and purposeful movement that integrates body and brain. She is also a community connector. Her teaching career essentially began at age 4 when she would line her stuffed animals and dolls up in rows for their afternoon classes in reading, writing, and arithmetic. Amy learned to read by studying the dictionary and watching the Electric Company & Sesame Street. Amy has always dabbled in poetic storytelling, and Zebra Girl is her first published children's story. It is a compilation of her observations from her daughter's dance recitals in Sarasota, Florida when she was young to her adult performances as a stilt walker at the Bronx Zoo in New York City. Amy and her husband, Steve, are enjoying their own adventures in Costa Rica.
