Hi, my name is Aviva Gittle and I like to tell stories. Stories about flies who wear shorts, kittens who talk to snakes and kids who do crazy things. Like turn into a bagel or try to bounce to the moon on a trampoline. 

I admit I'm a bit of a late bloomer to the world of writing children's books. In fact, it took me 18 years to publish my first children's story, "Mort the Fly." Once Mort took flight, so did my passion and creativity. In the next four years, I published nearly 20 children's books  -- including my beloved Kitten & Friends series. As the proud Nana of bilingual grandchildren, most of my books are availabl in English and Spanish. 

Through my company, Gittle Publishing, I've published many imaginative books that make perfect bedtime stories. Parents can trust that Gittle books have family-friendly themes and characters. And, kids love to read Gittle stories -- again and again! Softcover versions have coloring pages. There are also activity books that will keep the little ones busy and happy, like "Moon Jump" and "Mary's Magic Word Story & Activity Book."

I hire professional artists from all over the world to illustrate my books: Award-winning artist Carlos Brito of Brazil, Jennifer Chappell of New York, Tekla Huszár of Hungary, Andres Cornejo of Argentina. Parents and children alike love their full-color illustrations.
