Sharon Morse was born in Caracas, Venezuela to an Argentine father and an American mother. At the age of six, her family moved to Houston, Texas where Sharon refused to speak a word of English until her first bite of a Shipley’s donut. 

​

Sharon still lives in Houston with her husband and four children. She writes picture books, middle grade and young adult novels, as well as non-fiction for kids. Laughter through tears is her favorite emotion.
