edit data

Bonni Goldberg is an award-winning, best-selling writer, educator, artist, and innovator. Since she was 10 years old and her teacher, Mrs. Thaine, introduced her to poems, she's never stopped writing. Bonni uses words and images to empower children and adults to celebrate and make sense of themselves, others, and communities near and far (in time, locale, and imagination). Through Kidlit (picture books to middle grade) like Dona Gracia Saved Worlds and non-fiction books for adults (writing advice and other inspirational topics) like The Write Balance & Room to Write, Bonni supports creativity, courage, pleasure, and resilience while bringing unsung heroes and Jewish joy to light.
A crowd-pleasing presenter, Bonni is available for school vis ...more
