Today is National Author's Day! Authors are some of the greatest people on this Earth, because they make us use our imaginations and spur our creativity. We should all take some time today to learn more about our favorite authors, just like I did. The author I chose to learn more about is James Ponti, author of Framed!.
James Ponti was born on March 24, 1966 in Pisa, Italy. He moved to Orlando, Florida when he was young.
