As a First Nations educator, Ashlee Alicea is dedicated to helping children ask the “I wonder” questions. Her playful and imaginative style of writing helps tap into a child’s curiosity. Creating stories that all children can enjoy while also highlighting the language, culture, and identity of Native people is one of Ashlee’s life passions.

Ashlee was born in Great Falls, Montana, and currently resides in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where she is a member of the Oneida Nation. Her daughter Luka Little Feather and son Quade Kahteles inspire and encourage Ashlee to have fun and take chances in her writing. Hiking, cooking, photography, and visiting small-town coffee shops are just some of the things she enjoys.
