Farial English lives in a small, rural community in upstate New York with her husband and two dogs. Seventeen years ago, they moved from their home in a Chicago suburb to an old farm. Surrounded by woods and fallow fields, their dogs could run free and explore the property. Farial spends most of her time outdoors, planting and tending flowers, growing vegetables, and caring for her colonies of honey bees.

As an avid reader, Farial read hundreds of books with her three sons as they were growing up. They looked forward to their weekly trips to the local library with anticipation. Over the years, Farial jotted down story ideas and stashed them away, thinking that someday she would write and publish a book of her own.

The birth of her grandson inspired Farial to dust off those ideas and write her first picture book for young children. She feels deeply gratified to have published a picture book that may delight a child, even one she doesn’t know and will never meet.

Farial is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI).
