Johannes is coauthor of nine books in the CECE LOVES SCIENCE PB series including nine books, the THEO THESAURUS series, SHINE LIKE A UNICORN, and PENNY (An Engineering Tale of the Fourth Pig). Her newest chapter book is FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, part of Chelsea Clinton's "She Persisted" series.

Shelli can often be found on highways and country roads saving strays and other jaywalking critters, or volunteering with animal conservation groups like the Atlanta Zoo, the Dolphin Project, and Bosley’s puppy orphanage. After earning a master’s in marketing and working as an executive in Corporate America, Shelli traded out her heels and suits for flip-flops and jeans so she could follow her passion for writing. Shelli lives in Atlanta with her own pack of animals: a British husband, two kids, one bird, one fish, and two crazy Goldendoodles who hate vegetables.She can be found online at www.shellirjohannes.com
