Lisa Frenkel Riddiough has an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Hamline University. Her critical thesis was titled, It’s Not Just Talk: How Empathy Elevates When Talking Animals Exist in Contemporary Human Settings – Middle-Grade. In this study, she paid specific attention to the ways in which animal and human characters struggle to communicate with one another. In addition to writing middle-grade, Lisa writes picture books and “grown-up” short stories and essays.
