Toby A. Williams, born and raised in Nashua, New Hampshire, currently resides in the San Diego area of California with her best friend, who also happens to be her husband of many years. They enjoy travel, golf, helping in the community, and of course, reading and writing. Her favorite place to write... the dining room table. Her favorite place to read... anywhere in the warm sunshine. The BROOKE LYNN Adventures series' original story, MY LIL' LADYBUG FRIEND, featuring Brooke Lynn as a curious little girl, was created for Toby's niece and great-niece as a gift; in December 2018, she published it as her first children's book. Highlights of being Kind, Brave, Inclusive, and Responsible have been subtly woven into the playful poetic verses. The vibrant illustrations by Corrina Holyoake have captured the imagination of many children during storytime.
