Mari is the author of The Little Seed’s Long Wait, a story about believing in yourself and finding joy in life’s journey. She believes that no matter our age, we all carry an inner child’s sense of wonder—and that’s the magic she brings to her whimsical characters, including Sprout, Rooty, Digger, Sparkle, and Weaver. When she isn’t imagining new adventures for her stories, Mari enjoys practicing yoga, learning new languages, and laughing with her grandchildren, who continue to inspire her writing.
