Meet Angela!​

Angela Quezada Padron is a Latina author-illustrator who spent her childhood days writing stories and doodling on the garage walls of her New Jersey home while enjoying summers visiting family in the Dominican Republic. Angela has always been a Renaissance woman who wears several hats, including as an educator, curriculum developer, fine artist, musician and novice fashion designer, just to name a few.

 

Angela has been an educator for the last 30 years. In addition, Angela is a freelance writer, illustrator, developmental editor, and consultant for educational publishers and literary organizations. Besides her published children's books, Angela has written, edited, and art directed a series decodable books, Cover to Cover, as part of the Reading Partners curriculum that addresses the science of reading.

 

When she's not working, you can find Angela observing wild dolphins and collecting seashells, singing along to Lady Gaga, playing baseball, or binging on Star Wars.
