Christina E. Petrides began writing poetry and publishing books for children during the 6.5 years she lived on Jeju Island, South Korea. Her first children’s book, Blueberry Man, was selected by both the Georgia and the North Carolina Farm Bureaus as a book of the month for their Ag in the Classroom programs. Her other children’s books include The Refrigerator Ghost; Tea Cakes, Quilts, and Sonshine; and Mr. Fisher’s Whiskers. Christina served as the primary translator of Maria Shelyakhovskaya’s memoir Being Grounded in Love. Christina’s website is www.christinaepetrides.com
