She wrote Treemont the Turtle as a script for a children’s puppet show that was performed in schools and at other venues. The story was embraced by teachers, parents, and children who encouraged her to share it once again in the format of a children’s book. Marya currently works as a paraprofessional for children with special needs in an elementary school. She enjoys her time with her students and is grateful for the lessons that they teach her each day. Marya lives in Southbury, Connecticut.view less
