However, it wasn't until after her children were born that she became interested in writing picture books. "They taught me everything I needed to know about becoming a picture book author," Kelly states. "They taught me important things like underpants are funny, arm pits make fine musical instruments, and 'poop' rhymes with 'soup.''' Kelly DiPucchio lives in a suburb outside of Detroit, Michigan, with her husband and three children.
