Marta is a writer and park lover. She lives in San Francisco with her family, just one block from Golden Gate Park. She visits Golden Gate Park almost every day, and still discovers new and surprising things about it. Marta’s books Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure and ABCs of Golden Gate Park include many of her favorites… including some that even locals may not know about.

Marta is also a long-time volunteer at Point Reyes National Seashore with her husband as part of the winter wildlife program. The inspiration for her first children's book, Little Gray’s Great Migration, happened when Marta saw a gray whale calf breach 13 times right below the Point Reyes lighthouse.

Marta is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
