The NORMAL stuff about me:
1. Ever since I was young, I've loved to read books. Some of my favorite children's books are OUTSIDE OVER THERE, RAMONA THE PEST, THE WITCHES, THE WESTING GAME, and STARRING SALLY J. FREEDMAN AS HERSELF. I'm very lucky that nowadays I get to read and write books for children.
2. I grew up outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and attended Barnard College in New York City.
3. I currently live in New Jersey with my family, lots of books, and the occasional deer in the backyard.
The WEIRD stuff about me:
1. I wasn't named after The Little Mermaid. Weird, right? My name is actually the nickname of the city of Jerusalem and means 'Lion of God.' When people ask me how to pronounce it I tell them to say the letters 'R' 'E' 'L' really quickly. But if you happen to say it like 'aerial,' it's okay. I know you're talking to me :)
2. I still have a baby tooth. It's happy as a clam sitting there on the bottom row, but one day I'd like for it to come out so I can finally get my dollar from the tooth fairy.
3. My favorite meal is a bowl of popcorn with M&M's in it. I know some people, say adults, might claim that is NOT a real meal. In that case, my favorite "real" meal is white clam pizza. Some people, say kids, might claim that is NOT a real meal. I say both are really delicious.
