Celia Botto

Celia Botto, M.Ed. is a special education teacher from New Hampshire.

Raised in the Berkshires, Celia began writing short stories at her grandmother's kitchen table. Her dad's workshop holds the largest permanent collection of Celia's illusrations, many of which are currently on display. Her brother, teachers, and friends inspired her earliest original characters. Celia credits her mother as her most trusted editor, who continues to read everything she writes.

Celia's beloved husband, Brad, is a champion of her writing. He and their dog, Hobbes, are her biggest fans.

When Ayden Paints the Sky is Celia's first published children's book. She hopes her nieces, nephews, and students like it.
