I worked my way up from intern to Associate Editor. I loved my time in children’s publishing. An internship finally came through with Disney Publishing at Hyperion Books for Children, their original character division. I pounded the pavement, tried to get as many informational interviews as possible. My uncle lets me move into his place until I found something. I applied for hundreds of jobs online from my fifty-pound laptop in Naples and got zero interviews. While I had begun to see the allure of South Florida, my dream had always been to move to New York. I majored in English with a concentration in Creative Writing and minored in Italian.Īfter graduation, I had no job and no prospects. Of course, as soon as people there found out I was from Florida I became very popular right around spring break. I couldn’t wait to get out of there after high school and went to college at Boston College, which I loved. Everyone fought for the last word and the last bite. I grew up in a big, loud, hungry Italian family with three brothers and two dogs (always two).

I was born and raised in Naples, Florida. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far. The creators of Just Being Audrey have brought us another insightful, dazzling book about the real woman behind the famous name, who was so much more than first appearances.Today we’d like to introduce you to Margaret Cardillo. She was a talented journalist, a preservationist who secured the legacy of national landmarks, and an editor of award-winning books. Jackie’s legacy also extended beyond her time in public life. Her poise under fire, intelligence, and tireless work as First Lady earned her the respect of leaders worldwide and made her beloved by generations.

Jackie Kennedy was an American icon of style and grace-but there was steel under that style.

It’s a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children.

This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 4 to 6. A stunning and inspirational nonfiction picture book about the life and style of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis from Margaret Cardillo and Julia Denos, the team that created Just Being Audrey.
