Richard Nelson is a children's author from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. Richard loves spending time with his family and going on "adventures". His other interests include video games, photography, board games, and fishing.

Richard grew up with a passion for children's books and loved story time before bed as a child. This tradition carried on with his own family. Between his wife and himself, they strived to read at least one book every night to their daughter. His favorite children's books include many of the "I Can Read" books, "the Monster at the end of this Book", and "Bambi Gets Lost". His plan for the future is to create many more children's books that bring family's closer together and smiles on children's faces.
