About Me

Andrea Alban (a.k.a. Andrea Gosline) was born in 1959 in Baltimore, MD but spent her childhood reading voraciously in San Francisco, where she still lives with her family. On a weekly basis, she visited the Merced Branch Library and returned home with a pile of books on myriad subjects. She received her B.A. cum laude in English/Creative Writing from San Francisco State University.

Andrea self-published her first poetry book at the age of six—a hand-lettered scroll tied with red ribbon. Today, she is mother to Jake and Lily and the author of three picture books: The Happiness Tree (2009 Florida Children's Book Award nominee); Ten Little Wishes, and January’s Child: The Birthday Month Book. Her forthcoming debut novel, Anya’s War, is loosely based on her father’s childhood as one of the Shanghai Jews. (Feiwel & Friends/Macmillan; February 1, 2011)

Andrea’s inspirational parenting titles include: Little Moments of Peace; Welcoming Ways; and Celebrating Motherhood, a NAPPA Gold Award recipient.

Andrea is a dynamic speaker at schools, museums, libraries and literary festivals throughout the Bay Area and beyond. She serves on the faculty of Book Passage and its annual Children’s Writer Conference and consults privately with writers of all ages to shape, polish and package their manuscripts.
