The President of IAOTP, Stephanie Cirami stated, “Choosing Rosemarie for this award was a simple decision for our panel to make. Rosemarie writes inclusive and informative books for children. Her focus on supporting grieving parents is admirable and is what makes her exceptional. We felt she is deserving of this honor as Top Children’s Author of the Decade and we are looking forward to celebrating her success at this year's Annual Awards Gala.”
Originally beginning her professional career as a school nurse over 24 years ago, Rosemarie always played an integral part of children’s lives every day. From tending to their cuts, scrapes, headaches and belly aches, she wasn’t just there to call parents to come pick children up. She aided with child development and gave children a sense of protection, a safe haven where they would be taken care of, loved and nurtured. With her professional experience and longevity of taking care of children, Rosemarie decided to pick up a pen and paper and write.
It was January of 2012 that Rosemarie wrote her first Children’s Book “Amberella in the City,” which is part of a three-book series “The Amberella Tales” for children ages 5 to 9. The stories teach children the values of love and security, friends, belonging and acceptance. Her second book was published in May of 2013 “Amberella and Double Double Trouble,” and Rosemarie is currently working on a third book, “Amberella and the Troublesome Nine,” which she hopes to publish next year. According to Rosemarie, “Children enjoy being able to relate to the challenges they are experiencing in their own lives.” From her experience with children her entire professional life, it was second nature for her to write for them. She has a full grasp on what children like, what they don’t like and what they are looking for when they read.
Rosemarie was inspired to write “The Amberella Tales” after losing her son Chris when he was only 23 years old. The character Chris in her books is based on her son and Amberella is based on her own dog, Amber. Rosemarie recalls loving to read to her son and she remembered how much he enjoyed it too. She said writing gave her a sense of connection to those good memories they shared together. It helped her grieve, but also helped her to move forward with a sense of peace at having memorialized Chris’ life in her book.
In April of 2013, Rosemarie started writing a blog for other parents who have lost their children, kidswritertoyou.blogspot.com. She wanted to inspire parents to navigate their journey of grief in order to find some measure of peace and productivity once again. Rosemarie gives positive encouragement, direction and empathy to these parents who are going through a very dark time in their lives.
Rosemarie received her Master’s equivalency in Health Education from Pennsylvania State University and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. In August 1970 she started as a Public Health Nurse for the City of Philadelphia offering home nursing, hospice services, mother-infant child services, lead poisoning intervention, child abuse evaluations and reporting. In September of 1978 she started as a Certified School Nurse for the School District of Philadelphia where she spent over 24 years of her professional career. A special program and study for the District was to identify and intervene with ninth grade students at risk for dropping out of school because of excessive absenteeism due to varied health and social reasons. Her other key responsibilities were state mandated health screening programs; health prevention and education; services for pregnant students, administering prescribed medication; emergency care for student and staff illness and injury, substance abuse prevention and intervention; and management of students with long-term health problems.
Throughout her career, Rosemarie has received awards, accolades and have been recognized worldwide for her outstanding leadership and commitment to the profession. This year she will be honored at IAOTP’s Annual Awards gala for Children’s Author of the Decade at the Plaza Hotel. In 2019 she was featured on the famous Reuters Building in Times Square, NYC by the International Association of Top Professionals and was honored in Las Vegas for the Empowered Woman of the Year Award by IAOTP. In 2018 she graced the front cover in TIP (Top Industry Professionals) Magazine and for 2017 selected as Top Children’s Author of the Year. She has been selected as a VIP member for the National Association of Professional
Women; Named “Pinnacle Professional of the Year” with Continental Who’s Who. She is an active member with the One Woman One Voice Project and Walk with Women Writing Group.
Looking back, Rosemarie attributes her success to her endless passion for writing, her empathy and love of children, her strong will to persevere and to never give up. It is her goal to give children, parents and animal lovers an enjoyable time reading and a cast of memorable characters who become lifelong friends. For the future she aspires to grow as a professional and hopes her books give parents and children special memories to look back on together. She is also an avid jewelry designer and creator.
