Donna Lambo-Weidner has sailed the seven seas with swashbuckling pirates, crossed blades with sword-wielding knights, and circumnavigated the moon in a cardboard box, until it was bedtime, at least. Now that she’s an adult, Donna writes books for children laced with her actual experiences—like dog-sledding in the arctic and camping in a salt cave one mile underground. THERE ARE NO DRAGONS IN THIS BOOK (NorthSouth Books) is her debut picture book. It was shortlisted for the '24 German Children's Literature Award. She is agented by Stephen Fraser of the Jennifer DeChiara Literary Agency.
