Changing the world one child at a time...

Andrea Torrey Balsara is a children's author and illustrator, AND a hopeless optimist about the goodness in people: especially in children.  Her stories and artwork reflect the belief that we are all ONE, and that no matter where we've come from, or what we have done, we are linked together.

Asking questions…making choices…and making mistakes! LOTS of mistakes…!  Using humour and a wild-ride of a storyline, the characters in Andrea's stories go on adventures of self- discovery; learning about family, life, love, and even death; drawing readers in to laugh and cry at their foibles.

" This presentation has given many students the confidence and desire to show their own uniqueness through visual arts and writing."
