Brief description: Niki Verzuh Smith loves kids and animals. Combining these two loves in Dragonville in order to help change society's rules is a project that she has longed to do. A life-long feminist, she believes that we need to support our children to discover their strengths and offer them to the world regardless of their gender. Niki lives on Salt Spring Island with her husband Neale, their lovely dog Stella and their tuxedo cat, Raymond. An artist and photographer, Niki has now been drawn to writing. This is her first children's book and plans to continue the Dragonville series throughout Stella's life into adulthood.
