Leonie Barragan was born in the North of France in 1989, and later moved to San Clemente, California with her family in 2001. She was inspired to write Children's Books, by her father, who himself, would tell Leonie bedtime stories that he created. Growing up, her love for children and children's books grew stronger and stronger, and she became a Preschool teacher. Leonie then decided to start writing in 2009 with her first book titled; “Lazy Johnny Bunny”.
