Rothenberg has always been a reader and a storyteller, and she always thought she would become a writer, especially since Unicorn and Mermaid were not exactly viable career options. 

Rothenberg came from a family of “artists and vagrants” (to quote one of my all-time favorite movies, Little Women) and they always encouraged her to write, act, paint, play music, and even to dance, despite her total lack of rhythm. 

Rothenberg original plan was to be a professional ballerina. But, then a girl bit her in ballet cla s s when she was seven, so that was the end of that.  Writing seemed like the next best thing, so she has pretty much been at it ever since.
