Hello, friends! My name is Allison Oklesh. I am a picture book enthusiast, book hoarder, and lover of cats.

​

I was born and raised in Greensboro, NC but spent much of my childhood in the Appalachian mountains playing in creeks and looking for the fairy folk (I'm still looking).

 

I've always had a love of reading and writing, and am still in disbelief that I have published my first book. 

 

I hope that "My Little Fence" inspires you to read with the growing humans in your life and to talk about the importance of kindness, mutual respect and, most importantly, how to set healthy boundaries!
