Wade Bradford's Biography (The Short Version)
Wade Bradford was born and raised in the often wet and sometimes windy state of Washington. At the age of 19, Wade fell in love with a girl who lived out-of-state, so he moved to the often sunny and sometimes shaky state of California.
He earned a Masters in Literature from CSUN. Wade currently teaches English at Moorpark College. In 2011, his first picture book, Why Do I Have to Make My Bed? (edited by Red Fox Literary agent Abigail Samoun) was published by Tricycle Press/Random House. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly said of the book: “This book deserves a place on the shelves next to the Magic School Bus series."
Wade's second picture book, Around the World in a Bathtub, is now available through Charlesbridge Publishing. His latest books are Papa Bear's Page Fright and There's a Dinosaur on the 13th Floor.
In addition to writing picture books and novels, Wade has written over 35 plays, including CSI: Neverland, Promedy, and Tomorrow's Wish.
Oh, and the girl he fell in love with? She and Wade have been married for over 23 years!
