A professional ballerina by age 16, Gianna Davy adventured her way across stages for 15 glorious years until settling down to start a family. Today she lives in Healdsburg, CA where she works as a Speech Language Pathologist, teaches dance, makes jewelry, hugs her children, and belts out karaoke in the car.  She is the author of No One Owns the Colors and How Do I Wonder? and loves traipsing across misty hillsides, collecting odd words, and the notion that life and art are inseparable. She hopes that her books will inspire curiosity and wonder in everyone who reads them.
