Meet the Author
Andrea Utasy Clark
Mom and lawyer by day, writer and yogi by night, Andrea finds inspiration in her lively, fun-loving and book-devouring two-year old. The story of Lyle came to be at bedtime one night, free-styling silly modern takes on classic nursery rhyme melodies. Andrea was born and raised in California by her Singaporean mom and Hungarian dad, lived in Singapore for 13 years and has recently relocated to Abu Dhabi.
