Samantha Berger is not an otter, a Princess, nor a little monster (well, sometimes) but she IS a writer and artist who loves to make up stories about all three!

From the time she was very little, Samantha has always loved children’s books, cartoons, comics, costumes, and Kermit the Frog.

Samantha grew up to become the Vice President of Animated Shorts at Nickelodeon, and to write over seventy books for young readers, most recently, "Martha Doesn't Say Sorry!" and "Martha Doesn't Share!"

Before Nickelodeon, Samantha was an Editor at Scholastic, before that a Preschool Teacher, before that, worked at Rhino Records, and before THAT skipped merrily 'round the streets of Brooklyn and Philly.

Samantha recently learned how to drive and moved to sunny California after 15 years on Manhattan Isle.  She shares her home with two terrific rescue dogs, ‘Rora Mae and Polly Pocket, also know as The Senior and The Puppy.

Samantha loves to travel all over the world, and do as much good as she can along the way.  She also loves to laugh loud and hard, as often as possible.  Can you hear her?  She’s probably laughing right now.
