Autor

Phyllis Leyden-Alexander is an author, entrepreneur, and Noah's grandmother, whose life adventures are captured in the children's book series, "Adventures in Noahland." Noahland is a very real place where meals are received through a tummy tube, and wheelchair, leg braces, and therapies are a part of life. She writes to help reduce the discomfort some children and adults may feel around kids who are different from themselves due to disability. Phyllis brings passion (even rapping and singing country music!) along with first-hand experience to convey 'different doesn't mean less than' when speaking with school-age children, students with an early childhood education major, and educators. Her books have also been used by universities in developing lesson plans and strategies for general early education instruction. Association with Alabama's Special Camp for Children and Adults (Camp ASCCA), a nationally recognized Easter Seals camp, and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI), a part of the National Park Service, help extend Phyllis' reach in bringing awareness to the history of disability.A NYC native, Phyllis now resides in Pittsburgh, PA with husband Louis. Together they share 5 children and six incredibly perfect grandchildren, of whom Noah is the youngest.
