Author Bio
Debby Dahl Edwardson lives on the shore of the Arctic Ocean in Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost point of land on the North American continent. Debby has published everything from poetry to newspaper features. She is the author of MY NAME IS NOT EASY, which was a National Book Award finalist. Her interest in writing for children grew from a desire to see more books which accurately reflect and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Inupiat people, the heritage of her own children.
