Rita Gray

Rita Gray's love of children has been the one constant of her life. Raised in Southern California, with three younger sisters, Rita moved north to Berkeley, where she ran an After School Program. She migrated eastward to New York City to study Psychology (BS) and Social Work (MSW). During this time, along with knowledgeable teachers, artists and therapists, Rita worked with children and their families. She came to understand that a good book "holds an experience for a child, one that can be visited again and again". Rita is married and has two children of her own who enrich each day.
