Michele Gianetti is a registered nurse, who previously worked as a school nurse before becoming a stay-at-home mom and eventually an advocate for her second child, who has special needs. She and her husband, an Internal Medicine physician, make their home in Ohio. They are also parents to their older daughter Emily and son Michael. Seeing the love between her children, through it all, was the motivation for Gianetti writing this children's book. The hope is that by helping siblings understand their special brother or sister, it will help draw them closer as friends. Gianetti also wrote a book about her daughter's life and journey with dyspraxia and SPD entitled 'I Believe In You: a Mother and Daughter's Special Journey'. The book is available on her website, amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. The author maintains a blog on her website, which is devoted to her daughter Elizabeth, at www.michelegianetti.com as well as a Facebook page titled the same as her book "I Believe In You".
