N Lenaure Batista

N Lenaure Batista is an award-winning arts educator and performing artist. She started writing songs and stories at age 5. As a child, her most memorable moments in school and at home included learning and performing rhythm, poetry, music and dance. The singer/dancer/choreographer has performed in the US and abroad, and has graced all the grand stages of her beloved New York City. Lenaure also spread her love of the performing arts in classrooms, working as an arts educator, teaching music, dance and creative writing in various programs in NYC and abroad to students ages 2 through adult. Through Lenaure's lifelong love of the arts and literature, this adorable and zany little character named Silly Celly was created. Celly is a very smart and whimsical girl with a great attitude that gets her through the ups and downs of everyday life. The entire story has a rhythm to help kids not only expand their vocabulary and reading ability but also to encourage and teach them to tell a story with timing and musicality. Silly Celly ~ A Story In Rhyme is the first in a series of many Silly Celly stories to come. N Lenaure Batista has also written adult non-fiction, coffee table books, a few historical biographies, and is currently working on her first adult fiction and the next three Silly Celly stories.
