Mary Casanova is an award-winning children's author of novels and picture books. Many of her books stem from her life on the Minnesota-Canadian border; yet some of her stories have taken her as far away as France, Norway, and Belize for research. Casanova grew up in a family of ten children in St. Paul, Minnesota. In a bustling camp-like atmosphere, Casanova found that writing became her voice. "Words are my paintbrush," she explains, "my way of exploring the world around me." Whatever the setting for her books, Casanova writes stories that matter--and stories that kids can't put down.

Casanova’s visit to Warren, Minnesota marks the grand finale of the Northwest Regional Library 2010 Spring Author Expo, featuring seven Minnesota authors, visiting seven Minnesota libraries in seven weeks. Full details and media one-sheets are available at http://www.NWRLib.org.

The project was funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on 11/4/08 which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage. Sponsored by the NW Regional Library and hosted by the Red Lake Falls Public Library.
