Author Fernanda Lazzaro: “I would like children and adults alike to realize that we all play a role on this planet”

I would like children and adults alike to realize that we all play a role on this planet. Every creature counts and even though bugs may creep us out, they do serve a purpose in helping keep the balance in the environment and eco-system.

It is natural to be afraid, but as we learn more about them, we start to gain respect for them. They may be small, but they do big things.

As part of my interview series on the five things you need to know to become a great author, I had the pleasure of interviewing Fernanda Lazzaro. She writes a children’s book series about the importance of bugs in our eco-system. Her love of little critters began when she was a child growing up in the concrete jungle of Toronto, Canada. As she learned more about these small creatures, her respect for them increased. So, she decided to write about them.
