Nell Cross Beckerman writes books for children, inspired by the magic of free play and exploration in nature.
Nell has been a 12×12 member for many years and finds it an invaluable hub of information, support, and friendship. And just look at all the members’ successes!
Her books include:
DOWN UNDER THE PIER, explores the fun ON TOP of a lively beach pier, then revealing the hidden world DOWN UNDER the pier, where the animals of the intertidal zone live.
WHEN THE SKY GLOWS is about all the ways nature can make the sky glow—from sunrises and sunsets, to rainbows, solar eclipses, lava eruptions, and fireflies–explaining the science behind these magical sights. Kirkus calls it “A beautiful and informative title for a sense-of-wonder storytime.”
CAVES uses dramatic, poetic language to guide kids through different caves around the world while nonfiction text allows for deeper understanding.
She is a former documentary TV and web producer/director whose clients include Nickelodeon, MSNBC, MTV, VH1, New Line Cinema, and The Discovery Channel.
In October she’ll release a self-paced writing class at Storyteller Academy, perfect for those wishing to write about the magic of nature.
