Nicole Dillenberg is a writer, poet, and performer whose work brings warmth, humor, and imagination to everyday experiences. A graduate of USC, she has written poetry published in the Southern California Anthology and adapted numerous books for the audio divisions of Time-Warner, HarperCollins, and Bantam Doubleday Dell.

Her first children’s book, Bennett Will Only Eat Blueberries, tells the playful story of a picky young bear who discovers that trying something new can lead to a pleasant surprise. Created for young children and early readers, the book uses antique toy bears photographed in colorful miniature settings, giving the story a distinctive visual charm.
