Holly Jahangiri is the author of Trockle, illustrated by Jordan Vinyard; A Puppy, Not a Guppy, illustrated by Ryan Shaw; and the newest release: A New Leaf for Lyle, illustrated by Carrie Salazar.
She draws inspiration from her family, from her own childhood adventures (some of which only happened in her overactive imagination), and from readers both young and young-at-heart. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, J.J., whose love and encouragement make writing books twice the fun.

I am learning to appreciate poetry and not feel bad or overwork the problem when I don’t connect. I made a list of poets I enjoy to remind me that it’s in my range. So I would never use the word “hate” when it comes to poetry. I would say “discerning taste.”
I fell in love with poetry when I heard Vincent Price reading some on television! I watched the show for spooky Vincent Price, but HEARING poetry well read blew my mind.
He does credit to the poetry of Poe: https://youtu.be/znOfeeI26Y0?si=MzWHTcRDmAj0Beng
