Niki B Tilicki (She her)

Illustrator Len Peralta

Niki Tilicki is an elementary teacher and a Tucson-based writer whose debut picture book began as her son Easton’s sixth-grade story. A lifelong educator, she has spent more than 35 years helping students see the world through curiosity, kindness and the power of a good question. She recently released "My Great Grandfather's Magical Rowboat." When she’s not teaching or writing, she’s often exploring trails, reading by the beach or adventuring with her husband.
