Lisa L. Walsh is a school social worker with more than twenty years of experience in counseling students from preschool to high school.

She is the author of a young adult novel about a family affected by addiction and has done local TV and radio interviews as well as readings and other events. Her students inspired Violet the Snowgirl—it was a real-life discussion of loss in a classroom of eight-year-olds who were empathizing with a classmate whose father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Walsh has two adult daughters and lives in Gifford, Illinois.


Wendy Leach was born in the heartland of the United States and has very stubbornly stayed put.

Her love for picture book illustration grew while earning her BFA and working in the children’s department of her local Barnes & Noble. Her favorite subjects to draw include cute kids and their pets, city landscapes, and lush garden spaces. She is a proud member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and was honored to be a featured illustrator on their website.

She lives in Kansas City.

Violet the Snowgirl kept me captivated until the last page! This short story allows children to see that it is normal to have a variety of feelings, and it models how to deal with their range of emotions. The characters learn that talking with others and working through their emotions helps them move beyond their grief and look back at the fond memories. I love that this story is creative in showing how to deal with loss through an age-appropriate event other than a death or divorce. This book will be read to many students in our school, as well as with my children at home.”
