Ode to a Bad Day

Chelsea Lin Wallace is a children’s author, poet, and former elementary school teacher with a master’s in education. When she isn’t busy writing for kids she can be found cheering them on -- coaching volleyball, directing musical theater, and encouraging her students through their ups and downs. While Chelsea has had her own share of bad days, this is her first ode to one. She is represented by Jen Rofé at Andrea Brown Literary Agency and lives in Los Angeles with her husband, her daughter Charlee, and her dog, Lucky. Learn more at www.chelsealinwallace.com.
