Margie Palatini

Margie was born and raised in Edison, New Jersey.  A town named after Thomas Edison! Today, she lives in Plainfield, New Jersey with her husband Richard, son Jamie, and cat J.B.

Margie has written over two dozen books, including  Piggie Pie, Moosetache, Bedhead, The Perfect Pet and The Web Files.  Her books are very funny and filled with wordplay and pun-filled prose. Margie's picture books are favorites of students and teachers alike!

When asked what she likes most about being an author, Margie said, "I really like writing funny stories and knowing they make children all across the country laugh out loud."  According to Margie, the stories she writes must first pass her son Jamie's giggle test.  Her son has been a great source for some of her books, including his bad hair days which inspired her book Bedhead.

Margie has two brand new books that hit the shelves just a few months ago, The Cheese and No Biting, Louise!  Our class can't wait to read her latest!
