Brief description: Educated as an electrical engineer, Sally M. Veillette moved to her ancestral home on the Italian island of Sicily to raise her daughter. There, she developed "relational tourism" programs that included hosting groups to cook with Italian grandmothers, assisting in English language camps for local children, and facilitating local soccer tournaments with A.C. Milan's youth team. After completing a playful translation of ''Twas the Night Before Christmas into Italian for her daughter, Chiara, she was inspired to create a multilingual collection of the classic poem. Today, Sally and her team of 80 helpers across twenty nations have successfully published the poem in 20 languages with print, ebook, and enhanced editions with animation and narration available. Sally M. Veillette is also the author of the award-winning Coming to Your Senses: Soaring with Your Soul, as well as Sicilian history books for children and tourists.
