About the Artist
Hello! My name is Linda Cassella, artist and author. Welcome to my website and thank you for your interest in my work.
“Artist” is a new way to describe myself. While I have always been interested in drawing, I basically gave up after receiving negative comments from a high school teacher. I went on to college and graduated from Cleveland State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education. I was an elementary teacher for four years before moving to Washington and starting a family. In 1984, I began a thirty year career with the US Postal Service. We bought property in the woods and built ourselves a log cabin. Needless to say, family and career was my priority and art was an occasional leisure activity.

About the Author
As a mother and grandmother, the author has promoted early learning through reading. In 2020, she renewed her interest in acrylic painting. During the pandemic, she painted forty portraits, including animals and pets. When her grandson started kindergarten online, she thought it would be interesting to have him help her come up with a story for these animals. This book is the result.
