ABOUT THE AUTHOR

As a child, Regina Ieti enjoyed the stories that were handed down to her by her mother. When Regina became a mother herself, her love of storytelling unfolded and she would write small books for her daughters and son to enjoy. This led to her passion of obtaining her teaching degree and throughout her seventeen years of teaching, has told many stories for children to enjoy.

She saw a need for children to be ‘imaginative’ and ‘creative’ and in turn children will create a safe place for themselves; just to be who they want to be. As a new author, Regina hopes to write the many untold stories that are based on the students she has taught. Her hope is to turn some of the realistic truths of child trauma into one of hope, success and student achievement.

Regina is currently teaching in Waikato, New Zealand and teaches online writing for Chinese students and English for Japanese students. In her spare time, Regina travels to visit her children in Australia and enjoys hiking, nature and traveling to historic and interesting places.
