Sabrina, The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart copyright 2011
WELCOME! Meet Children's Author Wendy Lewis
I enjoyed my childhood, growing up in Los Angeles, at a time when there was little traffic and you could walk to the wonderful city parks. There, I learned how to play tennis and met lots of friends from different schools. Every Saturday my grandmother Betty would take me and my sister to the movies, to the playground or to the Apple Pan for burgers and pie.
I started writing because I was very shy- and then I started to blossom! Eventually,I became a researcher, writer, and speaker on cutting-edge innovations in science and technology at school assemblies, teacher workshops, and to national organizations. An English teacher requested that I turn one of my science slides on Save A Child’s Heart, an organization that I am passionate about, into a story for her students. In 2010, at the San Francisco Writer's Conference, the story was recognized as a Finalist in Children's Books.
