Meet the Author
Nicole Wright grew up in Buffalo, New York, and currently balances the weight of a full-time career with the chaotic joys of being a loving wife and mother. She never dreamed of being a published children’s author until her niece, Giuliana, was losing her first tooth. Seeing how frightened she was, Nicole sat down and wrote Losing a Tooth to help ease the fears of any child who, like Giuliana, is nervously approaching this same milestone! Now, Nicole is excited to begin this next unwritten chapter in her life and bring readers along for the journey. She shares the reminder that sometimes the biggest dreams in life are broken down into smaller ideas and goals that you never even thought you could reach! It’s those deviations that prove the best dreams really do come true.
