About the Author

Shelly Rivoli has traveled with her husband and small children across the U.S., over both Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and around the Mediterranean Sea, making their way by airplane, elephant, subway, train, cruise ship, taxi, and long tail boat.

After changing diapers in Thailand, Tunisia, Central Park, Volcanoes National Park, Park Guell, The Louvre, and The Smithsonian, Ms. Rivoli has grown quite familiar with the technical details of traveling -- and sightseeing -- with babies and very young children.

She travels as often and as far as she can with her family. The rest of the time, she hangs her hats (as mother and writer) in the San Francisco Bay Area.
