As a child at heart Latera, aka L. Gradnigo, couldn't help but take her love of all things animals, fantasy, and fun and funnel it into children's stories. With a degree in musical theatre written word and telling stories are apart of her core. To see how a tale can transform someones from the stage inspired Latera to translate that same emotion to the page. To enrich a child, is to enrich your life. To inspire imagination, is to inspire a generation of innovators and world changers. From a very early age her parents instilled in her a love and need for literature. From fantastical bedtime stories told by her mom, to weekly trips to the local library with her dad to scan the aisles in search for a mystery to read, literature was ever present. With every word she writes, Latera hopes to light a spark in every child's mind that will ignite into an eternal fire for life and learning.
