Lisa McCombs

A former public school teacher, Lisa’s world revolved around her students until she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. That’s when Shel Silverstein’s poetry began making sense.

Leaving the physical classroom behind her, the teacher-turned-author helps young readers try to make sense of their differences.
