Nancy Wilcox Richards

Brief Biography

Nancy Wilcox Richards was born in Boston in 1958 and moved to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia at the age of two. She graduated from Nova Scotia Teachers College in 1979 and later on went to Mount Saint Vincent University for another education degree and her Masters in Elementary Education. She has been an elementary teacher for twenty-nine years and she resides with her husband, two children, a golden retriever dog and one cantankerous cat on an almost perfect lake in Nova Scotia.

Her books have been translated into French, Spanish, Chinese and Norwegian. She finds inspiration for many of her stories from everyday life events and her own children. She has recently begun writing on-line teacher resources.
