About the Author

Esther Goldenberg taught second and third grade for over a decade. During her time in the classroom, she saw many children who were reluctant to read because they it was a struggle. Sometimes they were also embarrassed when their friends had long books and they were still working on decoding. She wrote My Nutty Family as a long book with short sentences, short paragraphs, and short chapters for a quick feeling of accomplishment, and made sure to fill it with humor so that nobody got bored when reading the book.
