Biographie:
Kim Constantinesco did the bulk of her childhood reading with bed covers over her head and a flashlight in hand. Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat occupied her cocoon and helped foster her deep love for unabated adventure and exploration. Kim is the editor-in-chief of a digital publication that tells the inspiring stories in sports. She enjoys putting the spotlight on the athletes, coaches, and fans who overcome the odds and make a positive difference in the world. She is a big mountain snowboarder who had a near tragic accident on the slopes only to return to the mountain and compete at a high level. She grew up in Salt Lake City and has a masters degree in health psychology from Northern Arizona University. She now lives in Denver, and can be found doing backflips on her snowboard in the winter and hiking 14,000-foot mountains in the summer. Solar the Polar is her first children's book.
