Lynne Heinzmann began studying ballet at the age of three, and by the age of twelve was dancing in companies, practicing seven days a week, so she is very familiar with the demands of being a child professional performer like Becca, the main character in But Cats Don't Talk. Lynne also studied classical piano for several years, and loves that art form, too. Lynne wrote this book imagining how her life would have been drastically different without these essential allies. She lives with her family in beautiful Rhode Island. To find out more, visit her website/blog at LynneHeinzmann.com.
