Sophia Koziatek grew up in the Midwest in the amazing city of St. Louis, Missouri. She considers spending time with her family, teaching chemistry, and moments of humor to be the most important parts of her day. When she isn't spending time with her family at the zoo, you can find her laughing at really bad jokes. Sophia has always loved writing and drawing silly pictures for her silly children, and "I Hope She's a Duck" is her first children's book.
