Meet the Author:



Marsha K. Nowakowski is a loving wife, dedicated mother to three children, and a “grammie” to her grandchildren.

This is Marsha’s debut book for toddlers. She has spent forty years in the healthcare industry, primarily as a cardiac nurse. Her inspiration for writing Matt and Mattie’s Adventures developed from her own observations that patients who recovered more quickly exhibited healthy habits and good attitudes toward life. As a mother and grammie, Marsha recognized the need for books teaching healthy habits to help young ones develop into successful people who always do their best.

Matt and Mattie’s Adventures makes everyday habits fun, balanced, and adventuresome for toddlers. Marsha’s own adventures include travel, horseback riding, and reading. She also enjoys golf, baseball games, and sailing with her husband. According to Marsha, every day is an adventure!

What inspired you to write Matt and Mattie as feet?
Characters in children’s books have been many things like sponges, princesses, animals, and superheroes, but there were no FEET! As a long-time nurse, spending many hours on hard floors, one of the pure pleasures in my life was having pedicures and leg/feet massages. Every time I had my nails painted I had fun designs put on my large toe. During a trip to Florida with my husband, the radio was playing, and my feet started dancing on the dashboard where I had propped my legs. I knew then that children could really like a unique and different type of character such as feet that would take them on adventures. There were ten activities of daily living in a toddler’s day that I wanted to write about. Just as our ten toes help our bodies balance, learning the ten life skills in a toddler’s day could be a fun visual that would help children create the balance in their own life. Matt and Mattie’s Adventures will always explore how to “put your best foot forward” beginning with baby steps! The publisher, illustrator, and I had more fun developing the book’s index of toe icons representing the ten activities of daily living that are hidden throughout the book.
