Teresa Butler was born June 6, 1966. She grew up “in the center of Connecticut” in the small city of Waterbury. 

Teresa has always loved to read and tell stories, “I remember my first childhood chapter book Charlotte’s Web, I read it from cover to cover and then read it again.”  As a child, she would write short stories and poetry as a hobby.  It never dawned on Teresa that she could become a published children’s book author.
