“Ms. Hatton has a gift, not only for words and science, but for speaking and listening to children on a personal, one-on-one basis. Caroline truly cares about kids and they sense it. That kind of genuine relationship, as you know, causes children to dig deeper and try harder. From her commitment to children, to getting her own words “just right,” to her punctuality and thoughtfulness, she is THE REAL DEAL.”

“Delightful presentation . . . The multicultural background of Véro and Philippe provides an interesting backdrop to such exciting stories about children who live in far away lands. Our children were captivated.”

By age sixteen, all this reading had led to a passion for science, so she took a detour from fiction writing to become a scientist. After earning a pharmacist degree from the University of Paris and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from UCLA, she became the Associate Director of the UCLA Olympic Laboratory, helping Dr. Don Catlin and his team test athletes for performance-enhancing drugs. Yet she never lost sight of her desire to write, so in recent years, she rearranged her life to fulfill it.
