Autorenporträt

Amber Hill, an educator and award winning author, spent 22 years inspiring and encouraging youth to recognize their inherent greatness. When young people see greatness in themselves, they shine brightly and soar in our world. Through her company, Epiphany Hill Enterprises LLC, she has become a prominent vendor in various communities, ensuring young learners have access to diverse children's literature and exposing them to early learning skills. Not only will the books support bridging the gaps in early learning, but they will also build self-esteem and foster the joy of reading for our youngest learners, in particular children of color. Black positive images matter because they shape attitudes and beliefs toward people of color. Having more positive images available will begin to change how the world views people of color and how children of color view themselves. Amber is also a Wife, a Mother of four amazing young men, a Foster Mom to many, a Coach, and a Mentor. She holds a B.S. in Early Childhood/K-3 Education from Wright State University. A M.S.E. in Marriage and Family Counseling from the University of Dayton and is currently a doctoral student in Educational Leadership and Management at
