Dr. Lisa J. Curry was born and raised in Gales Ferry, Connecticut. At twelve years old, she knew she wanted to become a dentist. Dr. Curry fulfilled her career goal by graduating from Hampton University and the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine.
Dr. Curry’s love of books began with titles such as The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats and Corduroy by Don Freeman. She has always had a creative side, with interests in art, music, and literature. As a child, she wrote and illustrated comic and picture books. However, it was parenthood that really inspired her to get serious about writing. Now married with two daughters, her goal is to help children of color find positive books featuring characters that look like them. Her motto is: “Reading is the best way to grow your imagination and travel for free." |
