I'm Kearen Enright, and I live in Connecticut with my husband, Michael, where we raised our four children. Don’t Waste Your Wishes was inspired by my "Mommy-guilt" after our toddler lost his favorite toy, a little green dragon. This led me to learn illustration so I could bring Sebastian the dragon to life. As a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators since 2010, I’ve written and illustrated Quarry Story and illustrated the first chapter of The Great CT Caper. I continue to create children's picture story books, driven by my passion for storytelling and literacy.
