Mehrnoosh Vejdani Watson

Mehrnoosh Vejdani Watson brings over 30 years of experience working with children, parents, and teachers. She has served as both an educational and parenting consultant, as well as a classroom teacher in early childhood and elementary settings across public and independent schools.

Mehrnoosh has always had a deep love for children’s literature. She seeks out beautiful books that leave readers filled with wonder and awe. She is passionate about teaching through literature and finds endless inspiration in the way young children can grasp complex themes and metaphors when engaged in meaningful discussions with adults who believe in their limitless potential.

For this book’s illustrations, Mehrnoosh used mixed media collage with paper and acrylic paint on canvas. She lives in New England, close to her now-grown daughters and their children—her experiences as a parent and grandparent remain a constant source of joy in her life.
