Margie Taylor Lisbona

Creator & Writer

Margie Taylor Lisbona is a mother and wife to a hilarious and loving family. Her husband Larry and their three children (and their families), continually keep her on her toes. The best gift that was ever given to Margie was her three SUPER FANTABULOUS grandchildren: Loren Adele, Greyson Paul and Lucas Adler. They are the very heart of her being. When Loren started talking, Margie became a YaYa, a title that is earned by lots of love, hugs, HI-FIVES and constant attention.

Margie’s days are spent writing, baking for the wonderful kids at a local elementary school, or being an adopted YaYa to a whole bunch of YaYa-less kids. When she finds time, she heads for the Caribbean and lays in blue waters and white sand until she has to come back home with loads of new book ideas in her head to write. Children have always been a source of energy for Margie. Her love for children is recognized immediately by any child that comes into contact with her. Throughout her life, many people would tell her that she should write a book on how to raise good kids. So one day back in 2006, she started doing just that. Margie’s first book “Rock & Rhino Learn Responsibility” was released in May 2011 and has turned into a total of a dozen books to date. She is a determined YaYa with a goal to be obtained. That goal is “ROCKSTAR KIDS” who always have been and always will be her only business!
