About the author

Melissa Post

Melissa was born and raised in Boston and went on to attend Dartmouth College, later earning her MBA from NYU. An avid reader and writer, she has always loved spirited debate, thoughtful conversation, and problem-solving - interests that led her to a career in consulting. She later turned to entrepreneurship, co-founding a company with friends she met through college and running a local business focused on helping families in her community stay connected. She also recently launched a sleepaway camp placement business with her two sisters. 


Melissa lives in Westport, Connecticut, with her husband Fred, who is simultaneously her toughest critic and biggest fan; without him, this story would still be just an idea. Together they have twin daughters Ally and Dylan (whose curiosity inspired this book), and a son Griffin, as well as two dogs, Rocky and Rusty. Some of her happiest moments have come from reading with her children, and she hopes this book sparks imagination, creates joy, and encourages kids to simply wonder. This is her first book.
