Tsila Glidai

Biography
I'm Tsila Glidai, and writing has always been my passion. I've been a high-school English teacher in Israel for over 30 years, and I love making up rhymes, stories and songs to help my students learn what they consider to be a difficult and challenging language.
I am fortunate to be the mother of eleven wonderful children- eight daughters and three sons, as well as a loving grandmother to - well I'm not counting. Sapphire, the bright and curious little girl who appears in all my stories is my oldest granddaughter. I try to fit the names of the rest of my grandchildren into my stories whenever I can, but it's not always easy getting the modern Hebrew names to fit into an English story. My husband and kids are very excited about my new career as an author of children's stories, and they are always happy to offer their ideas in our "brainstorming" sessions. I am so thankful for their love and support!
