Hello! Thanks for visiting my web site. My name is Marfé Ferguson Delano, and I write all sorts of nonfiction books for kids of all ages.

People often ask me how my first name is pronounced, so I'll tell you up front: It's "mar-FAYE." My last name is pronounced "DELL-uh-no." On my web site you can learn more about me and my books and get information about inviting me to your school.
