Chelsea Masterson-Kosko is a mom from New Jersey who has had a love of all animals, especially the scaly ones, since she was a child watching Steve Irwin. When she was a Girl Scout, her Gold Award project centered around teaching kids about snakes so that they wouldn’t be afraid of them. She is now using that same passion in her new children’s picture book series, teaching kids about the animals they may find scary.

Chelsea enjoys baking, spending time with her husband, son, and dog (Maddie), watching “Doctor Who,” and listening to Taylor Swift.
