Michaele Razi is a children's book writer and illustrator. She loves children's books of all kinds- picture books, early chapter books and middle grade books. She enjoys all genres but she especially likes to read (and write) characters who are silly, funny and a little bit naughty. She lives outside of Seattle with her family and her two rascally cats. Frank the Seven-Legged Spider is her authorial debut.
The deceptively straightforward text lures readers into the digital illustrations' silly punch lines and droll grace notes...the Jon Klassen-esque twist puts a wicked spin on his journey to acceptance. -Kirkus Reviews Razi's debut paints a hopeful picture about a protagonist with a physical disability while at the same time acknowledging some of the struggles he encounters. -School Library Journal A silly story about a spider that loses his leg. -Seattle Magazine A tale that teaches self-acceptance and determination. -Seattle Times We love the humor woven throughout Frank the Seven-Legged Spider. Equally enjoyable for both kids and adults, it is one of those books that will please younger and older children. -Wild Tales Of
