About Kelly DiPucchio
DiPucchio is the award-winning author of several children’s books, thousands of To-Do lists and a few recipe cards. Like most kids who grew up in the 1970s, DiPucchio had a pet goat and bought all her clothes from the Sears catalog. Like most teenagers who grew up in the 1980s, DiPucchio had really big glasses and feathered hair. Today, she lives with her husband and three children in southeastern Michigan, where she enjoys writing just about everything except her own bio.
