About Sandra Boynton

She was born in Orange, New Jersey on April 3, 1953, and is the third of four daughters of Jeanne and Robert W. Boynton. She grew up in the Mount Airy part of Philadelphia. Her dad was a noted progressive educator, scholar, and co-founder and publisher of Boynton/Cook Publishers. Her parents became Quakers when she was just two years old. From kindergarten up through twelfth grade, she and her sisters went to Germantown Friends School where their dad taught English and was the Head of the Upper School. She has frequently cited Germantown Friends’ arts-centered curriculum as being central to her upbeat offbeat sensibility as well as its thorough integration of the values of independent inquiry, pacifism, and individualism. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Little Pookie Books series, Sandra Boynton has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
