Barbara Odanaka grew up in Newport Beach and dreamed of becomming a writer. At age 10, her career launched when the Daily Pilot published her "Goodbye Halloween" poem, for which she earned a whopping 50 cents. Ms. Odanaka went on to be a sports reporter for the Los Angeles Times and now writes for children. Her books include Construction Cat, A Crazy Day at the Critter Cafe, and Smash! Mash! Crash! There goes the Trash!.
