About Me

My name is Lissette Norman and I am the author of the children's book, MY FEET ARE LAUGHING.About my book: Sadie likes living in her grandmother's brownstone in Harlem, where she has her own bedroom and a backyard to play in. She's full of thoughts and has lots to say about her family and friends, her home, her hair, and her laughing feet that can't keep still. And when she grows up she plans on being a poet. This collection of sixteen exuberant poems in the voice of a young Dominican American girl and energetic, bright paintings celebrates Sadie's family and the city around her. "Dancing Merengue with Mami"You can order MY FEET ARE LAUGHING at barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com. It's also available at local bookstores.
