Wendy Gerber was inspired with the idea for My Mommy, the Octopus when her children were young. She wished she were an octopus so she could play with her children and build a successful career—at the same time! She wrote this book for moms and dads everywhere who wish they had more arms to juggle it all. Wendy loves to write and is a global brand strategist and corporate storyteller. She started her career as an international lawyer and lives in New York City. Wendy has three wonderful children, Alexander, Samantha and Jaxie, and an adorable grandson, Arlo. They are the inspiration for this book and the illustrations (Arlo’s puppy, Millie, is too!). Learn more at http://www.WendyGerber.com.
