Meet Your Literary Community Exhibitor 2019
About Rita Goldner
Rita Goldner's passion for nature, and love of drawing and writing, made picture books a great fit for her. Her audience is young, aged 4 to 8. Rita hopes that instilling understanding of endangered animals/habitats and global ecology will ensure that her readers will strive to preserve all this when they grow up. Her storytelling style, colorful whimsical pictures, and lively action-packed plots, make learning fun. Her new book, Agent H2O Rides the Water Cycle precipitated (pun intended) from her desire to teach the importance of water.
