April Dawn Duncan, who holds a BA in Education and taught English and History in middle-school and high-school until her armor wore too thin, now writes books for children of all ages so she can continue to do what she loves: teaching. Because writers often must band together to support each other so as not to give up on their dreams, she joined forces with one of her most cherished friends, an incredible writer by the name of Ti¿u Thúy Nguy¿n, to form the Willow and the Fox Children's Book Project. Together they roam the multiverse looking for like-minded writers and illustrators to work together with them to create uplifting, inclusive, beautiful children's stories. You can find their project at www.thewillowandthefox.com. April's first children's book (and subsequently the inaugural book from the Willow and The Fox), The Monocle of Shai, is illustrated by Danielle René Pecor and now available through all major book sellers online thanks to Onion River Press.
